Rumble with Michael Moore

Mike is joined by his longtime friend and fellow mischief-maker Tom Morello, co-founder of “Rage Against The Machine.” They discuss the power of artists to change the world, making art during a pandemic, and Tom’s new album, “The Atlas Underground Fire” which has an amazing, all-star list of collaborators including Bruce Springsteen, Eddie Vedder, Chris Stapleton, Mike Posner, Damian Marley, Phantogram and many more. They also discuss the epic performance of “The Ghost of Tom Joad” by Tom and Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, the day that Rage and Mike shut down the New York Stock Exchange, what it's like working with Bruce, the upcoming return of “Rage Against The Machine” and much more.
