Self-acclaimed “man of the people”, super-proud communist, and guitarist for the band Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave decided he was going to be-clown himself this weekend in Seattle.
Tom Morello Slams Seattle Restaurant After Being Denied Service
Hit the link for all the juicy tweets, but it boils down to Morello and his entourage show up when the place is packed and gets denied entry, because the place is packed. He then demands a private room for himself and his entourage, and gets denied again, because the place is packed. He then goes on a twitter rant about the how the place sucks and the owner is “anti-worker”.
Owner of the place responds by whipping out his cred as a crusader for the $15 an hour minimum wage and points out that he voluntarily offers his employees healthcare and a retirement plan, in addition to the “livable wage”.
Morello can’t stop stepping on his own pecker long enough to see he looks like every other spoiled asshole rockstar with money falling out his ass. He then refuses to eat crow.
Loving it. Especially the quote from the doorman who denied him twice.
The imaginary world meets the real world and discovers the real world does not even give a shit about the imaginary world.
Kind of like when on Big Bang the boys had their car stolen when they were in the desert playing start trek. I think the series has gotten better since then as they are starting to grow up.
Rockers never grow up.
Please tell me there was Morello going “Don’t you know who I am?”
I live just up the street from the Five Point Cafe where this happened. It’s a great little dive, and almost always packed. The most hilarious part of this was his request for a private room. Because unless he wanted to eat in the men’s room (which has a great view of the space needle, oddly enough), there are no private rooms at all.
As for the staff, they’ve always seemed like good folk to me. They don’t take any bullshit, but that’s not really a problem unless you insist on offering it to them.
