Two years of waiting through the pandemic, hoping we would have an opening to be a band again and continue the work we started 30 some odd years ago.

Rehearsing, training, reconciling, working our way back to form. Then one and a half shows into it and my tendon tears.North American 2023 Rage tour CANCELED pic.twitter.com/ILmTGtAulX— Rage Against The Machine (@RATMofficial) October 4, 2022“Felt like a sick joke the universe played on me.

As I write this, I remind myself it’s just bad circumstance. Just a fucked up moment. Unfortunately it is a moment that requires a lot of work and healing.
