Rage @ DNC

Left work 4 hours early just disappointed with the good intentions of coming back 4 hours later and finishing my work.It was right down the street from work so i drove over paid my $10 parking and went on up I got there around noon and the fucking line wrapped around the Coliseum. I didn't have a ticket but a friend said that they were just letting people in as they came up. I waited in line for 30 minuets in the hot sun with a couple thousand of the coolest people and when i got tot he front some giant ogar dude stamped my hand, gave em a bracelet and let me loose. I was in. Damn it felt good. Iraq Veterans Against the War or I.V.A.W put on the show and they did one hell of a job. I respect there cause the most out of the 1000 different groups downtown this week each bitchin bout something different. They have the most to say in this whole campaign.
The Flobots fucking fucked it up for only 30 minuets before Rage came on and I think i am in love with there violinist. She is a true Bad Ass. During each act the lead singer of the band The Dead Kennedy's was our MC for the night. He introduce Ronnie Covak to the crowd whom the movie Born on the Fourth of July was about and he talked for 10 minuets pumping the crowed with his speech about peacefully demonstration. After the show they were planning a march peacefully and organized.
Rage took the stage at 2 pm with there Giant red and black Star flag pinned up for the background and there were greeted with a salute by the Colorado I.V.A.W they were all in uniform. Rage gave a salute back and they began. They opened with Guerrilla Radio and blessed the crowed for over an hour with songs like Bulls on Parade and finishing only to come back out for an encore playing Killing in the name of... I SAW GOD... best show I have seen in a while ohh yea did i say it was free.
