Tom Morello, guitarist for Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave and Street Sweeper Social Club, is less known for his folk music, which he plays under the alias “The Nightwatchman” as well as Tom Morello: The Nightwatchman which he used on his second album The Fabled City. He has explained, “The Nightwatchman is my political folk alter ego. I’ve been writing these songs and playing them at open mic nights with friends for some time. This is the first time I’ve toured with it. When I play open mic nights, it’s announced as The Nightwatchman.
There will be kids there who are fans of my electric guitar playing, and you see them there scratching their heads.
But it’s something that I enjoy doing. I look at it more as an extension of my politics. Then again, some of the songs are not explicitly political. It really helped me grow as an artist and songwriter.”

I came to point out how I hear the obvious Springsteen influence. Guess I sound like a 13 year old who needs to grow up. Oh well.

Sorry, but the rip off excuse just doesn't work anymore, no bands have no influence, and I'm getting tired of "so and so sounds likes so and so, they're copying". It's the kind of stuff 13 year olds who have just got into music say, grow up :) [2] @blainethebassis: Not everything has to be technical and 'groundbreaking' to be good. The man does what he likes, and if it's writing a simple tune with simple lyrics, then so be it.

Not a bad guy to be ripping off. I hear more Woody Guthrie and Bruce Springsteen influence than Dylan though.

Yeah, it's nice, but there are too many moments when it's overmuch obvious that The Nighwatchman is but a Bob Dylan rip-off.

Horrible band. Horrible lyrics. Lame changes. Overly simplistic song structure. What happened Tom? You used to be my favorite guitarist. WTF? Was it the other band members in Rage and audioslave that were brilliant and not you? I'm so dissappointed.
