Tom Morello 'The Fabled City' at Occupy Wall Street

Tom Morello stopped by the Occupy Wall Street protest in downtown Manhattan earlier today. While visiting the scene and taking part in the rally, the Rage Against the Machine guitarist also performed a few of his solo acoustic Nightwatchman tunes. In this clip, Morello plays a stirring rendition of his song "The Fabled City."

Fucking Epic in deed.

"And I suspect that if one flew, then ninety nine would follow"

Tom is the man!

Let's hope those 99 follow...

tom sounds just like oboma

"...banks are more powerful than standing armies."

(-T.Jefferson)

And Tom thinks that a guitar will even scratch the surface??

Appreciate the thought, though. That is, rising against tyranny and all that jazz.

He is an ENFJ. And ENFJs are prone to thinking that every idea is a great one.

And I mean EVERY idea. Here, he's preaching to the choir. These people already know this!

I like him

But doing this reaches only reaches a few people and discredits him (as radical-ish) with the ones who matter!

great song....morello is way better than jack white will ever be...and he is definitely not in the 1%...his entire net worth is probably a few million at best...which is basically an accounting error at goldman sachs or chase....wall street was a corrupt shithole when it started in the 1700's and its just gotten worse ever since..

Tom Morello gives Ron Paul a thumbs up! Check it out watch?v=yWa1l9RFY8Y

[repfreedomforce]

Ron Paul has the courage to end the Wars, the bailouts, and the corporatism.

Restore liberty, end the fed, elect Ron Paul President 2012.

The government is the problem here. As it always is. It becomes bigger, more greedy and more aggressive. The government can't even defend our borders from undocumented aliens, they have destroyed our educational system, they have ran every major program into the red, economically. It is the government who controls interest rates which adversely effects speculative activity on Wall Street. They control the currency, and the rate at which it is created, thus devalued.

[StonewallJackson26]

It's because regardless of how they criticize Obama, they are predominately a pro- Obama crowd. They won't protest Washington with him in power. Instead they want to throw bricks at the earnings of successful citizens who pay hundreds of thousands, often millions in taxation each year. I mean the US has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world, and the top 1% pays close to 50% of all tax revenue.

OWS is misguided.

[StonewallJackson26]

People don't understand that bailing out the banks is the opposite of Capitalism, that is Socialism. Under true Capitalism, the banks would have failed. Government intervention is Socialism, and what I still can't understand, is why the OWS demands and complaints are not primarily directed towards DC? The real framers of our current economic woes

i don't know why but to me he kinda looks like forrest gump lol
