Punk legend Henry Rollins has an opinion on everything. The difference between him and many other musicians is he has a brain. In his regular LA Weekly column Rollins took a spin on the current Occupy Movement.
For those of you oblivious, its a bunch of people just sitting in one place bitching and making signs about anything they're displeased with. Calling themselves the 99% saying where power is had by 1%. Heres what Rollins had to say
[…]People will remember that the Tea Party was co-opted and funded by billion-dollar corporations, and that it was supported by Fox News and other outlets with the same vigor with which they attempt to denigrate the Occupy protesters. People will understand that the Occupy protests are truly organic — which is why it sometimes looks like there is confusion amongst them. As the weeks go by, every police officer who stomps on and attempts ruinous harm to the First Amendment with arrests will only attract more people to the protests.
Why? Because finally, the real issues are being addressed. This is the reason all the right people are losing it. They are not stupid. They know that this bell cannot be unrung.
I urge you to read the Occupy Manifesto, written by the New York City General Assembly. It is unavoidably clear. This is not directionless action. If it were, the media would have moved on."
Hmmmm, time will tell.
