Rage Against the Machine Make Hippies Happy

Rage Against the Machine closed out the third annual Vegoose on Sunday the only way they knew how -- by uniting the audience, regardless of age, race, religion or creed in a fist-pumping showdown of anthems and classics. During 'Bulls on Parade,' vocalist Zach de la Rocha told the crowd to "Check out my DJ!" He was referring to Tom Morello's uncanny ability to make his guitar sound like a turntablist scratching records. It's true that Vegoose traditionally draws more of a hippie audience than the typical Rage crowd, but it's a demographic with similar world views and it was not uncommon to see dreadlocked kids in patchworks singing every line, from 'Bombtrack' to 'Killing in the Name.' And, in keeping with the Vegoose vibe, even the mosh pits were friendly.
