Cramer Against The Machine?

jim cramer / rage against the machine photo mash-upWhile letting my iTunes shuffle through my music library this afternoon, I had a theme song epiphany. The guitar riff from the song "Bullet In The Head" from Rage Against The Machine's self titled album, was the intro/outro theme music on Jim Cramer's recently defunct radio show, RealMoney.

Using the song on the show is probably neither here nor there, but I thought it was ironic to use the socialist rockers' music on a stock investing show. It's a musical message mismatch like Target using Devo's Beautiful World. Then again, Cramer is always making socialist and communist references on Mad Money. Maybe there was a little inside joke there.

Cramer's radio show was retired at the beginning of the month so he could focus on the web and television. Listening to the RealMoney podcast was part of my daily routine, that I still jonesing for.
