NOV 9, 2011 - In a recent interview with NewsTimes, musician activist Joan Baez said she and her crew who are in Connecticut for a show were inspired by the Occupy movement adding, "I've been thinking about what is a good song to start with, But I'm not sure what that song will be." She also said she wants to visit Occupy Wall Street at Zuccotti Park but added, "I don't want to go in toting my guitar. This has a very different tone. I am going to want to talk to the people." Watch her sing "Finlandia" below in a clip from Michael Moore's "Slacker Uprising".

NOV 5, 2011 - David Crosby, a musical activist for over 50 years, briefly visited Occupy Wall Street at Zuccotti Park yesterday. Perhaps like the song of his longtime bandmate Stephen Stills he was thinking, "Stop, Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down!", and he wanted to see what was going down at Zuccotti Park with his own eyes. It looked like a show of support, and the word on the street says he hovered around the edge of the park near the drummers before venturing in and talking several of the peaceful Occupy activists. Check out some more pictures here, and watch him below playing with his bandmates Stills and Nash performing the Buffalo Springfield classic, "For What It's Worth".
