In case you haven't heard... a growing live-in protest called "Occupy Wall Street" is going on in the financial district of New York City right now. The protest, set up by internet hacking group Anonymous and anti-consumerist magazine Adbuster, is against corporate greed favoring the rich at the expense of ordinary people. The protest began Saturday when several thousand people gathered in front of the New York Stock Exchange holding signs saying "We must end corporate tyranny and corruption" and "Debt is slavery." The protest is entering its fifth day, and supporters are vowing to stay for months if they need to.
The reason I bring this up here is because I'm speculating that perhaps Radiohead, with it's liberal, free-thinking, anti-corporate views, might join in. They are after all about to embark in a New York "tour" this week starting with SNL on Saturday, The Corbert Report on Monday, and two Roseland Ballroom concerts next Wednesday and Thursday.
I think it possible that they'll join in on the protest. They are, after all, known to arrive unexpected to places. What do you think?
Here's the livestream of the protest:
