I spotted Zack de la Rocha at a little neighborhood Italian restaurant not long ago. I was in line to pick up a to go order and was in the middle of texting, realizing I wasn’t quite ready to place my order, I turned around to let the person in line behind me, go ahead of me. It was Zdlr. I don’t generally engage but when I recognized him my eyes naturally bugged out. He knew I noticed him but he remained chill, gave me a little smile and we both raised our fists at the same time as a show of recognition. Nobody else noticed. When he got his order to go, he leaned into me and in an almost whisper, said, “thanks brother.” Just a regular guy getting his pizza and pasta to go, keeping his anonymity. Chill dude who is a regular person till he gets on stage and puts all his pent up raw emotion into his cause. He doesn’t feel a need to do more by sharing his personal life with anyone. Nothing at all wrong with that. I’ll try to see him live as often as I can.
