The world of professional music is no exception to the rage surrounding the Supreme Court's decision to overturn abortion rights. Rage Against The Machine has announced that they will be donating $450,000 in ticket sales for their upcoming reunion tour to reproductive rights groups in Illinois and Wisconsin, among other things.
There is a clip circulating on the internet today from a performance at the festival this weekend, where she named and shamed the five Supreme Court justices who voted for the overturn of the abortion law.
The song's condemnation of small-minded politicians was inspired by both George W. Bush and the British National Party. In the past, Allen has played it at the festival while name-checking politics.
The crowd was told that this particular take on the song was addressed to someone.
I’m devastated and terrified that so many women and so many girls are going to die because of this. I wanted to dedicate this next song to the five members of the Supreme Court who have showed us that at the end of the day, they truly don’t give a shit about freedom. This song goes out to the justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh. We hate you.
She won three Grammys last year for her solo debut, and is riding high on the release of her new album.
