Tom Morello's speech on behalf of Rage Against the Machine's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: "Like most bands, we have differing perspectives on a lot of things, including being inducted into the Rock Hall. My perspective is tonight is the great opportunity to celebrate the music and the mission of the band, to celebrate with the fifth member of the band: Rage Against the Machine’s incredible fans." "The world's changed by average, ever day ordinary people who've had enough, who are willing to stand up for a country and a planet that is more humane, peaceful, and just. And that's what I'm here to celebrate tonight. Fans often ask, but what can I do? Let's start with this: 1.) Dream big and don't settle. 2.) Aim for the world you really want without compromise or apology, and 3.) Don't wait for us. Rage is not here, but you are... If you got a boss, join a union. If you're a student, start an underground paper. If you're an anarchist, throw a brick. If you're a soldier or a cop, follow your conscious not your orders. If you're bummed out you didn't get to see Rage Against the Machine, then form your own band and let's hear what you have to say. If you're a human being, stand up for the planet before it's too late." cos.lv/46uE50Q4e3G @tmorello @rockhall
