I wonder if Putin is a fan of their music. Not inconceivable.

Paul Ryan's love of Rage Against the Machine is amusing, because he is the embodiment of the machine that our music has been raging against for two decades. Charles Manson loved the Beatles but didn't understand them. Governor Chris Christie loves Bruce Springsteen but doesn't understand him. And Paul Ryan is clueless about his favorite band, Rage Against the Machine.

I like how he compares Ryan to both Charles Manson and Chris Christie! Ouch! Of course when it comes to mass murderers, Manson doesn't hold a candle to any President of the United States you could name, so maybe that comparison is appropriate after all.
