Tom Morello Joins Wall Street Protest

Former Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello has arrived in New York to offer support to the Occupy Wall Street protests. The movement has gained a lot of momentum over the past few weeks and has fundamentally taken issue with corporate influence on government and a rapid degree of economic inequality.

Morello, who is no stranger to political activism and leftist ideas, had previously been present at the Occupy Los Angeles protests, a movement that grew from a similar discontent towards North American’s distribution of wealth.

Performing as the Nightwatchman, last week Morello played a set for protestors in Los Angeles, including a cover of Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land”.
