Now that is how an image gallery should be. Not that stupid slideshow bullshit. Everyone knows this.

I think image galleries should be one photo per page with ten flashing ads per page. THINK OF ALL THE AD REVENUE!!!!

I'm guessing you don't own any Rage Against the Machine albums. At least, not their self-titled debut.

You are correct, I do not.

Their first album had a picture of the burning monk on the cover. Same guy, different picture. Actually a far more horrifying picture, in my opinion.

They protest against the Catholic regime...only to get communist fascists. I guess Buddhists aren't known for their intelligence.

It's amazing how calm he looks in that photo. It's terrible that someone felt that had to go to that extreme to get a point across.

Yet another stunning photograph series from Boston. Thanks OP.

In retrospect, the hippies really were right about this war. What a fucking waste of life.

He's probably on heroin. At least I hope he was.
