Re: Tom Morello
What I loved most were the many variations of "after I graduated from HARVARD, I was basically UNEMPLOYABLE" that he litters throughout interviews over the years
I'm sure he'd love to make it about race or something, but between his rather ambiguous appearance, contemporary examples like Mr. Obama, the sheer impact of a Harvard diploma, and his politics and attitude....sounds more like he couldn't/wouldn't keep his mouth shut long enough was his main problem as a youth.
Or thought the world owed him, big-time. And/or couldn't show up clean and sober.

Re: Tom Morello
Wooo, Adieu, ya'll are getting rough!! Of course, I don't know anything about guitartists' pasts, batting average, all that stuff that amazes me ya'll retain about so many performers. Probably the same way you can actually remember the lyrics to a song (I can't, but getting better with less beer). This is what always keeps me busy: now I have to go on another history lesson. Which is cool, coz today's lesson is supposed to be barre chords.
Me, I just like him coz Bruuuuce does, and that neato trick shorting out the pickup. And enthusiasm. Eh, whadoo I know. Ya'll are learnin me, and I sincerely appreciate it, even if I do get snarky. :newbie:

Google never forgets.
Not if you keep telling the media some whack sob story about how you and your Harvard diploma were unemployable and forced to strip for a living....

I love how you tough guys tend to answer opposing opinions with empty threats of macho violence instead of actual thoughtful responses.
Also, people who say he's bad just for being a communist should maybe read a few books.

Re: Tom Morello
You clearly know nothing about the guy. He was born in Harlem NY, and was raised by his mom who was a school teacher. His father was Kenya's first ambassador to the United Nations. He abandoned the family when Tom was 16 months old.
He graduated with honors from Harvard with a bachelors degree in social studies. When he graduated he moved to LA and as he put it he was unemployable, so he worked as an exotic dancer!
So how is he a spoiled brat? Because he’s not a conservative? Lol
Personally I like his playing, but like Jeff Beck he likes to make noises rather than playing lots of notes. But he can. You can certainly tell who he is when you hear his playing.

Unemployable Harvard grad = showed up stoned/hung over/couldn't keep his radicalism in his pants long enough to pass an interview

Dudes will make fun of Tom Morello for having strong opinions while worshipping John Lennon's advocating for peace while he beats his wife. Funny world

Re: Tom Morello
Hu-uh?? Maybe I'll skip the history lesson. I've had a hundred jobs and that ain't one of em. And I've had no $$, worked my ass off, and got 3 degrees. Sorry, not Harvard; I like Texas. But I am a VERY curious person. I mean, not me, but about other stuff. Guitarists being the current puzzlement.
Forced to strip for a living: If he said that, I say BULLCHIT. I managed just fine bartending, dispatching, warehouses. . . whatEVER. No one is forced to do something they don't want to. Unless, of course, they're locked down.
Now that I think, he kinda does look like a felon. I've dated enough.
Not that I'm predjudiced, I just don't tolerate liars or psychopaths. I'd marry Steve Earle in a hearbeat!:newangel:

Re: Tom Morello
My sweetie told me I stirred up a hornet's nest, and all I did was ask a musical question. Jeez. . .
. . . and, this just gets more interesting. Guess I WILL go back to history. How horrible. And how amazing ya'll know all this stuff. That's why I'm here. Besides the funnies, and the lessons, when I listen.

Nothing’s ever just a musical question— not when people are involved.

I can't stand Lennon, either.
"Imagine there's no John Lennon... I wonder if you caaaannn..."
But hey, at least I'm consistent. :13:

Yeah, you'd think with a 4-year from "hah-vahd" (Harvard), he'd be easily employable.
Wonder what went wrong? :33: :lol:

And how exactly did Mr. Morello acquire his ticket into the Ivy League?
Please, by all means - regale us.
