DENVER COLISEUM — The Flobots, as always, elevated the crowd with their hit Handlebars, especially its crescendo warning of the danger of unbridled power being able to turn the world to a holocaust. Then the band went into its uplifting Rise, leaving the crowd of 9,800 thrilled.
But in between those songs, rapper Jonny 5 (James Laurie) warned the crowd about their own power.
Conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh was widely quoted as it would be his "dream" for Denver to have riots during the DNC. Jonny 5 told the crowd the worst thing they could possibly do was to make that dream come true.
There's a march scheduled to go from the Coliseum to the Pepsi Center after Rage Against the Machine's 2 p.m. set, and he urged the crowd to be peaceful, respectful and non-violent, to loud cheers from participants.
