I trust nobody’s going to mind much if I talk about Madison’s ongoing activities if there’s free stuff involved:

Singer Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine has always been a strong supporter of working people. Morello was so inspired after taking part in a demonstration and headlining a concert in February for the protesters at the state capital in Madison, Wis., that he wrote what he calls “fighting songs.”

Not only did he write and record the songs, he’s donating the proceeds of the new eight-song extended play (EP) “Union Town” to help working people. There’s more: For a limited time, you can download the title song free here.

Follow the bouncing widget below to get the song; you have to supply an email address that works to get the download link, and it signs that up for some email list of Morello’s, so it’s not *completely* free, but then again, you’re also free to immediately spam blacklist them if you choose. I’m personally interested, both because I like his music and because he’s been part of the movement here and hey, a man who gives me free music is already earning brownie points.
