RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, ALICE IN CHAINS Members Perform At Maximum-Security Prison
May 26, 2009Tom Morello (RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE),Jerry Cantrell (ALICE IN CHAINS),Perry Farrell (JANE'S ADDICTION) and Gilby Clarke (GUNS N' ROSES) are among the musicians who performed at the Sing Sing maximum-security prison in Ossining, New York on May 2. The appearance was organized by punk rock pioneer and activist Wayne Kramer of MC5 fame who also talked with the prisoners. Kramer writes on The Huffington Post web site, "We went in with the blessing of the New York State Department of Corrections to inaugurate a new program focusing on inmate rehabilitation. To tell you the truth, I didn't think it would happen. I could not have been more wrong. We had all played a concert the night before in Manhattan for Road Recovery, a non-profit organization that works with at-risk kids. The show was sold out with the help of my comrade Iggy Pop and it was a resounding success."
