According to The Blast, Tim Commerford (Rage Against The Machine, Prophets Of Rage, etc.) is being sued by a man named Alec Chaice, who claims the bassist was driving alongside of him before switching lanes and crashing into his motorcycle on the 10 Freeway in Los Angeles on April 24. Chaice says the incident left him with over $65,000 in medical bills related to various procedures like a lumbar spinal surgery and a nerve root block procedure. He added that he was also left with a six-inch scar on his back. Chaice is seeking medical expenses, economic loss, damage to property, plus interest and costs. This is just the latest wave of bad luck to hit Commerford in recent times. The musician is also in the middle of a divorce with his wife and he even had to get a restraining order against her.

With Election Day (November 6) coming up, Prophets Of Rage (Rage Against The Machine, Public Enemy, Cypress Hill) have decided to share a new video called “The Ballot Or The Bullet.” The clip is named after Malcolm X’s famous 1964 speech and it features teasers of various songs from the group’s upcoming album. The band commented:
“There are people trying to keep many of us from being able to vote. Don’t squander the rights we’ve fought so hard to get. Agitate, Organize, resist and rebel before, during and after Election Day. In the words of Malcolm X, ‘It’s got to be the ballot or the bullet.'”
