Laid-Off Pop Radio Station Staff Loop Rage Against the Machine Song for Hours

Laid Off Radio Station Staff Loop Rage Against the Machine Song On Air for Hours
Published on:

Rage Against the Machine’s music is synonymous with protest.

And now, apparently, it was aptly used by some (unfortunately) laid-off radio DJ’s at Vancouver Station 104.9FM as a way to flip the audio bird to the powers that be.

According to the Vancouver Sun, a listener called the station to request a new song after ‘Killing in the Name’ had been on loop for hours. Apparently, though, a DJ flat out ignored the caller and continued to jam the song on repeat.

Tom Morello himself retweeted the below on Twitter & the band have also posted it as an Instagram Story:

It’s unclear on if this is indeed the laid off employees making one last stand in protest to the station, or if it’s a signal from the station that they are switching musical formats.
