FRI, AUG 17th (the day before Rage Against The Machine was to play Rock The Bells here in San Francisco), I received a text from Tom Morello, "U comin to rage?"  My reply, "Of course, my dear!"  Tom then sends, "Have tix and passes already?  What about Maux?" (He loves his Maureen Herman!)

My gosh...  How sweet is he?!?  I had another moment, "I am fortunate." 

The hook up was one of the most incredible hook ups of all time--VIP "Headliner" wristbands to see RAGE!!! 

Thank you; thank you; thank you, Tom!!!  ;)

I'm going to let the pictures and video guide you the rest of the way.  I am speechless.  They fucking KILLED it!!! 

I had to use my pocket size Nikon to take photos and shoot amateur video--no professional cameras allowed, but not bad for a baby digital cam...

Bad ass drummer, Ahmir Thompson aka "?uestlove" (The Roots):

RAGE took the stage and opened with "Testify"!!! The massive crowd of 50,000+ went fuckin' crazy!!!






























Like I said, RAGE fuckin' KILLED IT!!! Damn...
