I feel global political oppression or global wars usually produce great music but Macklemore might be the peak.

Nothing against him, some of his songs are good, but I expected real rage inducing stuff with everything going on. Or is this just the state of music as a whole?

You are missing the tree. Dave Grohl talking about he stands with people and good vibes while taking money from Microsoft and knocking up someone while married canceled his message.

Tom Morello has stood by his believes and echoes his mother's message. His mother spoke to congress about censorship. Her son joined up with a band that said fuck the government, with success. They didn't allow a war criminal like Bush use their music.

I do agree there are a lot of bands thay speak out of their ass about one thing while grabbing the bag with te other hand.
