In solidarity with the 99 percenters at Occupy Wall Street, a number of veteran groups marched to Foley Square today for a Veterans Day rally dubbed, "Honor the Dead, Fight Like Hell for the Living." And 1960s folksinger and activist for human rights, Joan Baez, was there to honor the vets on their day! After explaining that she had not visited Occupy Wall Street before now because she was waiting to be invited, Baez sang the Stones' "Salt of the Earth" and "Joe Hill," which she made famous at Woodstock: more ›

Folk legend Joan Baez will reportedly be performing tomorrow in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement. According to Daily Intel, organizers Aaron Black and Lower East Side activist John Penley say that Baez will "headline a concert in support" of OWS, at Foley Square, which is north of Zuccotti Park. Yet... earlier this week the musician, who is currently on tour, told the CT Post, "I don't want to go in toting my guitar. This has a very different tone [as compared to some of the movements she has been involved with and performed in support of]. I am going to want to talk to the people."

THEATER: Obie Award winner Adam Rapp has just unwrapped (sorry) his new play Essential Self-Defense at Playwrights Horizons. Set in a mean Midwestern town called Bloggs, the play has, fittingly, been generating big blog buzz. The “grim fairy tale” revolves around a disgruntled misfit “who takes a job as an attack dummy in a women’s self-defense class and finds himself mysteriously drawn to the repressed bookworm who’s beating on him. But all’s not well in Bloggs: with local children vanishing at an alarming rate, our hero, his lady friend, and a motley assortment of poets, butchers, and punk librarians prepare to battle the darkness on the edge of town.” With rock n’ roll karaoke! - John Del Signore more ›
