Where Are All the Protesters at the RNC?
Neither the hordes on the right nor the left showed up for a Republican National Convention, where the drama is all inside the convention center.
CLEVELAND—The Prophets of Rage may never play for a more intimate crowd. The conscious-rap supergroup, featuring members of Cypress Hill, Rage Against the Machine, and Public Enemy, played to a group of maybe 60 people in downtown Cleveland late on Monday afternoon, the first day of the Republican National Convention.
Fans of the band (or bands) rocked out to some of their members’ former greatest hits, including “Killing in the Name,” a rap-metal banger from 1992 that builds into a rolling, profanity-laden crescendo. Chanting in chorus, the group and their fans made its message to the GOP clear.
