Tom Morello to Perform at Occupy Wall Street

Following the example set by artists Jeff Mangum and Talib Kweli, Rage Against the Machine’s guitarist Tom Morello will perform a set at Occupy Wall Street in Manhattan at noon EST today.

Though the remainder of Rage Against the Machine will regrettably not be present, Morello will be playing a solo show as his alter-ego side project The Nightwatchman.

Coming off a recent performance at the Occupy Los Angeles protests, the left-wing axeman is striving to add “one more voice to the growing chorus of millions demanding economic justice at home and around the globe,” according to a statement he made to Rolling Stone.
