Buying in the name of.

[fearmeforiampink]

As a reaction to the X factor and all that, there's now a campaign to get Rage Against the Machine's "Killing In The Name Of" to be the Christmas number 1, rather than the latest X factor spam.

This amuses me. Enough to buy at least one copy, anyway. For anyone interested...

Here's some news about it. For reference, some/all of the profits from the sales will be going to charity.

For anyone interested in joining in, here's the links to do so on:
Amazon
Play.com
iTunes

I rather like the idea of it all, plus RATM are a good enough band for me to be willing to help them in their resurgence.

Sorry, I thought it was clear: they crafted their hypocritical messages and fake personas, for the purpose of selling them.

And then Sony paid them millions of dollars over the decades to sell their fakeness, because that particular kind of fake was worth quite a lot of money to Sony.

Ahhhhhhh, I see.

Your use of 'mass produced', 'cookie cutter' and 'boy band' all led to me taking 'manufactured' as 'externally manufactured' – that they had been created, put together and their full image devised by an external agency like a typical boy band, and indeed, liked the guy they're going up against.
