Rockers for Immigrant Hotel Workers’ Rights
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 10.03.06 | 6:52 PM ET
It’s a rock-‘n’-roll-travel day here at World Hum. We’ve already reported on Dave Navarro and the sexiness of travel and Rush drummer Neil Peart’s travel-writing talk, and now comes word that Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello is down with the plight of Los Angeles immigrant hotel workers—so down, in fact, that he was one of 400 protesters arrested near LAX last week. Morello and his band are no strangers to the world of rock-travel news: Last year, Audioslave made history as the first American rock band to play Cuba in 26 years. News of Morello’s arrest was reported on the Web site of his lefty non-profit, Axis of Justice, which also offers music recommendations—French rocker Manu Chao, who sings in Spanish, Arabic, Galician and Portuguese, among other languages, makes the list.
