Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine arrived at Zuccotti Park at mid-day on what has turned out to be an incredibly hectic day for Occupy Wall Street protesters. Morello, who performed at OccupyL.A. last week, gave a short acoustic set as well as supportive words to protesters: "First they ignored you, then you got pepper sprayed, and New York found out about you. Then 700 of you got arrested, and the rest of the country found out about it. Now there are 1,300 cities and towns that are standing up like you are here." Below, you can watch some videos of Morello performing, including a rendition of "This Land Is Your Land."
