The Machine they are raging against is most likely capitalism and political BUT it may have also been their first tour van.
I doubt they were raging against capitalism, seeing as how tickets to their last show were like $900 each.
I was going to say exactly this. I almost bought 2020 tix at the highest ticket price BECAUSE of the charity. They even had the tix labeled as non-transferable to prevent scalping.
They also haven’t performed regularly since the early 2000s so it’s not like they’ve been making money hand over fist for 20yrs either.
I didn’t buy tix cause this was March 2020 and the world was already talking about shutting down.
