RAGE AGAINST THE, wait what???

I like the owners response:

"For the record, Tom Morello, The 5 Point is totally pro worker. We try to pay more than any other small restaurant, and on top of the higher pay, we offer health insurance, paid sick days, paid time off, retirement and profit share.

"Sorry if you had an issue with our staff, but typically our staff is awesome, and when they are not, it's usually a reflection of the customer. Act like a prick = get treated like a prick.

"I have to say, your attacking a small business without knowing anything about it, or addressing your problem with them directly before you go on a public rant, pretty much sucks. Just lost a ton of respect for you, and I've been a fan for years, both of your work in RAGE and your work for workers rights since.

"P.S.: Rock stars don't get special treatment at The 5 Point. We couldn't give less of a shit. Sorry.

"And P.S.S.: I'm the owner of The 5 Point and have worked to raise the minimum wage in Seattle and support the same nationally, worked to get paid sick days law in Seattle, and am supporting a city-sponsored retirement plan for employees of small businesses. I hope you do the same for your employees on the road...

"P.S.S.S.: [It] turns out [Tom] and his crew didn't get let in as the place was at capacity and there was a line. No one was being let in. According to our doorman, who I totally trust, Tom and his crew were all totally rude. Quote from the door guys: 'I knew who he was, we had no room, his whole party was being rude. He wanted a special room in the back. Clearly had no ideas what it is like inside. I've told bigger rock stars than him no.'"

That is a pretty douchey thing to do. I have always had respect for Tom, but that really knocked him down a few pegs in my book.

what a douche...then he says this:

Forgiveness with conditions isn't forgiveness. :) call it leniency then

why does 5 points need his forgiveness or leniency? he owes them an apology.
he could have seriously hurt their business by being a rich douchebag.
 
Dear owner,

I commend you. Solidarity!

Sincerely,
Flamencology

PS - You should learn what "PS" represents, lest you say things like "postscriptscriptscript".
 
Like the band, don't like Tom's behavior here. Hopefully he just was buzzed up and this is not indicative of how he acts all the time. People have off nights.

Or, he could be a prick generally. I wouldn't really know.
 
I read through the account of pancake-gate last night. Funny stuff if you're not Tom Morello..Tweet less, communicate more.
