I'm with Cram; really has nothing to do with the politics - I love REM - but the band itself. I don't really care for Zack that much, and Tom Morello... I get it, he's legendary, but for me, EVERY SOLO is exactly the same: some wacky noise that sounds like a vacuum cleaner sucking up marbles, then four bars of "weedly weedly" scales. No thanks. I'm a MASSIVE Chris Cornell fan, but Audioslave - for the same reasons - is my least favorite of his projects.
