Tom Morello OSU PopTalks

- Musica: approfondimenti
Welcome to the premiere of PopTalks, a monthly podcast produced by Oregon State University’s College of Liberal Arts and Popular Music studies program.
PopTalks is about pop music, issues, ideas, trends, new sounds, old sounds, the things that make our music so great. Each month I’ll be talking to a special guest from the world of popular music and together we’ll explore the inner workings of both the business and creative side, with the goal of making you a more knowledgeable listener while at the same time narrowing the gap between the artist and his audience.
Today’s guest is Tom Morello, a founding member of the legendary rock group “Rage Against The Machine” and with Chuck D, “Prophets of Rage.” Tom is also an honorary member of Bruce Springsteen’s "E Street Band" and a spiritual son of Woody Guthrie, the great American folk singer who taught us how music can affect political and social change in this country.
With the 2020 presidential election nearly upon us, that very topic – music as a means of social and political protest – is quite relevant today, especially when you consider how many contemporary artists have embraced that idea.
Tom Morello is one artist that has always seen value in using rock and roll to muster the masses into political action. His music is revolutionary, incendiary and incredibly powerful.
