Beyond ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’: The Music of Occupy Wall Street | Threat Level. A movement goes nowhere without creating culture as it grows.
To wit, the fast growing Occupy movement has become a locus for cultural creation by artists and musicians, as well as technologists and political activists. It started out spare, borrowing from the past. [bug id="occupy"]Back in October, while I was visiting the weary crew of Occupy Long Beach, they gathered in a circle after GA to sing together to one occupier’s guitar. But at that moment there were no songs about the Occupy movement. Instead they sang ’60s protest standards, Blowin’ in the Wind, What’s going on, and found camaraderie in the Beatles’ With a Little Help from my Friends. But 50-year-old songs could only go so far, they couldn’t really describe the now. Here’s a sample of some of the music generated by and about the Occupys.
In the New Year, as people process the evictions of the fall and get through the winter, it will likely be culturally rich for Occupiers.
