Rage Incident facts
While investigating facts about Rage Incident, I found out little known, but curios details like:
In 1996 a suburb of Provo Utah accidentally booked Rage Against The Machine and everyone lost their minds. Even though no incident came from it, the City Council enacted an outright ban on concerts.
The CIA once failed at bribing Mr Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore, which was then relatively undeveloped. After he revealed this in an interview, the US denied the incident. In a rage, Mr LKY revealed a letter he received from then US Secretary of State and threatened to disclose further information.
