Tom Morello<\/a>, who has played guitar in Rage Against the Machine<\/a> and Audioslave<\/a> as well as with Bruce Springsteen, will tell his life story later this summer at three special engagements in New York City. In addition to reliving his artistic accomplishments, Morello will explain how music has complemented his activism.<\/p>\n

Audible will present the series, dubbed Tom Morello at the Minetta Lane<\/em>, on September 18th, 19th, and 20th at the Minetta Lane Theatre. Producer and composer T Bone Burnett is serving as the event\u2019s executive producer. \u201cTom Morello makes profound American music, and his story is a profound American story,\u201d he said. Tickets well go on sale<\/a> Noon ET on Friday, August 16th.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was the only black kid in an all-white town, the only anarchist at a conservative high school, the only heavy metal guitarist at Harvard University, and the only Ivy League Star Trek nerd in the biggest political rap rock band of all time,\u201d the guitarist said in a statement. \u201cThe songs, the stories, the triumphs, the tragedies, the riffs, the rebellion \u2014 all will be revealed. Oh, and I\u2019m going play a lot of ripping guitar, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

The residency follows Audible\u2019s Patti Smith at the Minetta Lane<\/a><\/em>. Rolling Stone<\/em> reviewed the event and complimented the way she recounted her past. \u201cFor many in the room \u2014 who listened raptly as acolytes \u2014 the stories about Robert Mapplethorpe and Allen Ginsburg and \u2018Sonic\u2019 Smith were familiar old saws,\u201d the review reads. \u201cBut it was the way they were delivered \u2014 with her distinctive Jersey accent and stumbling over words and phrases \u2014 that endeared her to the assembled.\u201d<\/p>\n
