Rocker Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave) has released a new song in the name of Ferguson, Mo., Billboard magazine is reporting.
His protest song “Marching on Ferguson” just hit in a studio version; last month, Morello debuted a live version of the song.
The song is inspired by the shooting death of Ferguson teenager Michael Brown by police Officer Darren Wilson and the unrest that followed.
In a statement, Morello said “100 percent of the profits from ‘Marching On Ferguson’ will support defending the protesters in the Ferguson area who have faced attacks, wrongful arrest, and violence from the police,” he said in a statement. “I’ve witnessed countless incidents of racially motivated police brutality in my lifetime and it’s time to say ‘Enough!’ in the name of all those wrongfully killed and abused. For all the courageous men and women raising their voices against injustice in Ferguson, and beyond, give ’em hell. This song is for you.”
