When I was fourteen I thought this guy was so great. When I was twenty-four I realized he was just a clueless pseudo intellectual douche who believes everything he reads and he only reads leftist propaganda that even Castro would laugh at. Now I’m thirty-five and Tom is still a clueless douche, and to make matters worse, he has a huge ego about it. No wonder Zack doesn’t get back with RaTM.
But FWIW, Rage was still the best live band I ever saw. On the Evil Empire tour they turned the basketball court of the Patriot Center into one huge pit. Damned fine showmanship.
