EPISODE SUMMARY:
To quote one of the co-founders of MTV, "Innovation is taking two things that already exist and putting them together in a new way." And what better way is there to describe rap rock superstars Rage Against the Machine other than calling them innovative? RATM is a genre-blending power house of both music and political activism that uses their art to speak truth to power, as shown in their devastating self-titled debut from 1992. And one comedian who definitely loves speaking his truth is Shane Gillis, who has done exactly that on Comedy Central's Clusterfest, Just For Laugh's "New Faces," and his podcast Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast.
