Favorite Tom Morello Quotes

1. "A musician's or artist's responsibility is a simple one, and that is, through your music to tell the truth," ~ Tom Morello
2. "The real estate agent had to go door-to-door in the apartment building we wanted to rent, asking if it was OK for this interracial family - my mom is white and I was a 1-year-old half-African kid - to live in the apartment building." ~ Tom Morello
3. "The way corporate media likes to portray America is as a homogenous whole that high-five's each other at the Super Bowl. But what we have is a grotesque disparity between the rich and poor that is only getting wider." ~ Tom Morello
4. "We've been able to have our cake and eat it, too. Every song, every T-shirt, is absolutely a pure expression of what we want to do. And it connects." ~ Tom Morello
5. "Then about 12 years ago it dawned on me that folk music - the music of Woody Guthrie and Phil Ochs, early Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Pete Seeger - could be as heavy as anything that comes through a Marshall stack. The combination of three chords and the right lyrical couplet can be as heavy as anything in the Metallica catalogue." ~ Tom Morello
6. "Music, I think, is best when it honestly explores personal demons, and it stirs around in the silt of the psyche to find out what's really there." ~ Tom Morello
7. "I came late to the genre of folk music." ~ Tom Morello
8. "I literally integrated the small town of Libertyville, Illinois. I was the first person of color to reside within its borders." ~ Tom Morello
9. "I was a fan of heavy music - first metal, then punk, then hip hop." ~ Tom Morello
10. "America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom you've lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesn't belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don't care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve." ~ Tom Morello
11. "I am enormously proud to be an American. I would say that the things that our corporate-controlled government has done at best are shameful and at worst genocidal-but there's an incredible and a permanent culture of resistance in this country that I'm very proud to be a part of. It's not the tradition of slave-owningfounding fathers, it's the tradition of the Frederick Douglasses, the Underground Railroads, the Chief Josephs, the Joe Hills, and the Huey P. Newtons. There's so much to be proud of when you're American that's hidden from you. The incredible courage and bravery of the union organizers in the late 1800's and early 1900's-that's amazing. People of get tricked into going overseas and fighting Uncle Sam's Wall Street wars, but these are people who knew what they were fighting for here at home. I think that that's so much more courageous and brave." ~ Tom Morello
12. "We offer a stark contrast to the bland escapism that chokes the charts," ~ Tom Morello
