Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello Escapes From G8 Protest By Boat
Rage Against The Machine rocker Tom Morello was forced to make his escape by boat after performing at last Saturday's Move Against G8 protest in Germany. Morello was playing at the Rostock event, attended by between 50,000 and 60,000 people, under his solo guise as The Nightwatchman when riots broke out.
Morello says, "I headed into the crowd. Police began to attack the crowd with water hoses and tear gas. There were big fires. I saw members of the black bloc throwing bottles at police. After my set, I had to escape via small boat to the Baltic Sea. There were police boats blockading the entrance to the festival and we snuck out under cover of darkness."
