AV: Saul Williams, Zack De La Rocha, and Serj Tankian Tear It Up In A Slam/Jam Live Performance

This video proves my theory that Saul Williams can make anything sound profound.  I mean, here's a guy with a voice so cool and expressive that he can literally read random words from a page of the New York Times, Allen Ginsberg's "Howl", and a Noam Chomsky book, and make it sound like a manifesto.  Of course, it probably doesn't hurt that Serj Tankian (from System of a Down) is playing guitar and Zack De La Rocha (from Rage Against The Machine) is playing drums behind him.


This video is 1 part Post Modern, 1 part pretentious, and about 7 parts awesome.

Best part of the video:  the guy behind the camera at the very beginning saying "alright, one song and then we're out of here".  What a chump.



So cool.
