It's classic Tom Morello: talk politics loud enough and you won't have to answer any questions you'd rather evade. Oh, and dressing up in Beerfest-meets-high-school-gym-coach garb helps, too. On the set of Anti-Flag's video for "The Bright Lights of America," Morello dodges rumors about Rage Against The Machine's return to recording, discusses fellow Illinois-native Harvard graduate and half-Kenyan Barack Obama's chances of capturing the general election, calls Congressional Democrats "cowardly dogs," and just generally speaks in what sounds like discarded Nightwatchman lyrics. Possibly in retaliation for Morello's evasive tactics, Mtv joins the growing number of news sites intent on forcefully pluralizing Morello into the Nightwatchmen.
