While out for a run this past weekend, Rage Against the Machine’s “Township Rebellion” got a turn on my Shuffle. As I was listening, a line caught my attention – “Lord, I wish I could be peaceful. But there can be NoSQL.” Later on they continue with “Why stand on a silent platform, fight the war, f**k the NoRM.” They pronounce NoRM incorrectly, but artistic license does permit such things. Anyway, I love Rage as much as the next guy, but it’s unclear to me why they have taken such a pro-relational stance.

I don’t think they’re taking a pro-relational stance. They do insist that there can be NoSQL after all. Perhaps they’re just not fond of NoRM for some reason? Are they Ruby on Rails guys mayhaps?
Good point! Though it’s hard to imagine taking a stand against NoRM, they are entitled to their own opinions…
