Rage Against the Machine for Christmas No. 1

Tracy and Jon from London started a facebook group for a bit of a laugh a few days ago.

The intention of the group was to urge people to buy ‘Killing in the Name’ during the week prior to Christmas transforminig it into the Christmas Single No. 1

Epic

Little would they know that their group already has nearly 600.000 people (one of them me) and that recognisable voices and faces from UK broadcasting services are promoting it.

Radio DJs are talking about it, Stephen Fry is talking about it, Jonathan Ross, Bill Bailey…

This is meant to only be good fun, but to be honest, if we manage to make Killing in the Name the Christmas No. 1 destroying the planned-for-months PR and Marketing campaign the X-Factor dudes have been preparing it will set a really good reminder that if the music is what it is, it’s because of the people.

And now, ironically I will finish with the last sentence from Killing in the Name:

Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me.

Motherfucker.
