About Me

Before long, Rage Against the Machine was on the main stage at Lollapalooza III (1993), and was one of the most politically-charged bands ever to receive extensive airplay from radio and MTV. Zack became one of the most visible champions of left-wing causes around the world fighting for the causes of Leonard Peltier and Mumia Abu-Jamal, and supporting the Zapatista movement in Mexico. He even spoke on the floor of the UN, testifying against the US and their treatment of Abu-Jamal. The music and the message were so intertwined for him that he did not consider any of Rage's albums a success unless they provoked tangible political change.Rage's second and third albums peaked at number one in the USA, but did not result in the political action Zack had hoped for. He became increasingly restless and undertook collaborations with artists like KRS One, Chuck D and Public Enemy.The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional, EZLN) is an armed revolutionary group based in Chiapas, one of the poorest states of Mexico. Their social base is mostly indigenous but they have supporters in urban areas as well as an international web of support. Their most visible voice, although not their leader, is Delegate Zero, formerly known as Subcomandante Marcos. Unlike all Zapatista comandantes, Marcos is not an indigenous Mayan.Some consider the Zapatista movement the first "post-modern" revolution: an armed yet non-violent, despite an uprising in the early 1990s, revolutionary group that incorporates modern technologies like satellite telephones and the Internet as a way to obtain domestic and foreign support. They consider themselves part of the wider anti-globalization movement.COACHELLA 2007
