There was a definite preferential divide between guys and gals--guys loved him. I don't know what about him was so powerful to men, because I (a woman) just didn't see it. I'm all for rah rah revolution, but this was uber-testosterone driven music (which can be great, for example, The Who). His messages were too generic, some if his rally cries were so universal that the folks on the far right could be saying the same thing. Morello is filling a needed void--if we can get more straight white dudes off their tushes to get involved in a revolution, I'm a supporter. I just don't want to go see his show.</p>
