Che

In 1967 Che Guevara, guerilla Marxist revolutionary, was captured and killed in Bolivia. Rage Against the Machine wrote a song about him and appropriated his image, which I have hanging in my room. I agree with much of what Che stood for, but he has been lambasted and bastardized in much of the free world today. He fought for the common people and denounced his upper class upbringing, but he was murdered for what he believed and laid out for the enemy to defile his body. A movie called Motorcycle Diaries will come out soon about his adolescence when he rode across the country with a friend on a motorcycle. This one's for Che.

In the mortal words of John Denver, I'm leaving on a jet plane. Goodbye.
