Egads... I think I was in a ranting mood the other night when I posted that. After it was out and posted, I decided it was weird to have a rant against someone I hardly know. I had (essentially) idolized Zach and RATM for so long that the reality of it all was such a disappointment. It all came at a time when I felt disillusioned with the political process and "The Left." (I was a fairly staunch Liberal, now I'm just disillusioned with everyone).
So, there's the more rational side of me that says it was as much my expectations that burned me as the disappointment that Zach de la Rocha was not as awesome as I thought he was.
Still, practice a little more of what you preach, buddy, is what I think every time he's brought up around me.
