The “Occupy” Movement needs a Protest Song
Telling Thoughts
The “Occupy Wall Street” movement needs a world wide protest song. It’s name should reflect at least one important goal of the protestors.
A title suggestion could be .. It’s Time for Regulation!
“We’re gonna heal our nation – it’s time – oh yes it’s time – time for regulation!
I’m no song writer as you can see, but a protest theme is important and music makes a powerful ally in delivering a constant and repetitive message.
There must be someone who can produce the goods and keep public awareness alive with a great protest song? A song with the power of Joan Baez’s rendition of the Bob Dylan classic.

John stop, please!
The Occupy folks are trouble. Even my Democratic friends laugh at them. Most everyone I hang out with think they are clueless drifters who are going along for the ride of their lives.
This whole idea will tie them to our party. Not a good idea.
Mary Cullen,
Please go to the nearest Occupy rally near you,and take time to talk to the protesters. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. As a veteran of the 1960’s protests against the war in Viet Nam and for Civil Rights, I assure you that Occupy protesters are in many ways quite different from those. Meanwhile, check out Keith Boykin’s photos and comments on Huff Post: “Everything the Media Told You about Occupy Wall Street is Wrong.”Having visited Zuccotti Park during the past week, I can vouch for what he says.
Let’s hope that Occupy evolves on its own, as it cannot be pigeon-holed according to party, ethnicity, race, age, ideology, etc. It’s a group of people who seek a return to two basic principles on which this nation was founded: fairness and justice for each and all of us. The other thing that may inspire you is to read MLK Jr’s “Letter from Birmingham.”
