My favorite Christmas song
Nothing to say, just listen.
Can’t fit in the box
“I see you, there’s lots of people right there with you, I’ve been there and you’re not alone.”
Words of wisdom from Jay Smooth:
An Occupy Anthem
An amazing story about an Occupy of one in a place of the privileged few, giving voice to the many:
During the gala dinner, renowned Hawaiian guitarist Makana, who performed at the White House in 2009, opened his suit jacket to reveal a home-made “Occupy with Aloha” T-shirt. Then, instead of playing the expected instrumental background music, he spent almost 45 minutes repeatedly singing his protest ballad released earlier that day. The ballad, called “We Are the Many,” includes lines such as “The lobbyists at Washington do gnaw…. And until they are purged, we won’t withdraw,” and ends with the refrain: “We’ll occupy the streets, we’ll occupy the courts, we’ll occupy the offices of you, till you do the bidding of the many, not the few.”
Here’s a video of the song:
And a video of Makana talking about his experience.
