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." Word is she will perform, however, but no time has been released as of yet. Either way, your move, Dylan.
