The Harvard-educated son of an African guerrilla-turned-ambassador, Tom Morello founded rap-metal activists Rage Against The Machine in the early 90s. Since then Morello has also been a member of Audioslave, recorded with artists ranging from the Prodigy to Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen and John Fogerty, and has devoted his energies to any number of social causes. In 2011 we spoke to him about his “political folk alter ego” The Nightwatchman, and his post-apocalyptic comic book series The Orchid.
