Of couse I'll cover RATM, and SOAD, but also more classical examples of politically based music (Dylan ex.). The basis for my thesis is "Do music and politics influence each other in the same capacity?" (proving that no they do not). I'll keep y'all "posted" on the progress.
Cover Immortal Technique too. He actually does political music well, unlike SOAD and RATM.
