Music has inspired me all my life. Here's some great music links that has personally motivated me to taking action. Maybe you too may find some inspiration here.
Here's to the 99%, Enjoy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Pink Floyd, take the link, music for OWS:

This is a beautiful and wonderful video that speaks of the motivation that allows any of us to really care about anything, as many already know it's a simple thing called LOVE:

Please enjoy and chime back in here with some thoughts!
Nice. It says it all.

This message is preached - ALL OVER.
Is it followed?
Many will give it lip service - But actions speak truth.
If you do not believe - IT SHOWS.
You really hit that nail on the head. It's message most won't reject and it does give nice feeling that big things maybe some day are possible.
Meanwhile, back on the street, we fight for every inch. Talk is cheap and human behavior is undeniable. We can see what's going down and love is missing.
My view, I'm going to play my part and stay active against accepting the status qua, any rights we've gained as citizens through decades of struggle are constantly under attack and can be rolled back any time.
This shows the genius of Jefferson in deciding on the Republic form of government. Representative Democracy with all it's misgivings and flaws.
And, DK, there's that video where we all live in this Utopian Paradise just floating on our happiness. All nice thoughts. Back to Plato's Forms.
Anyway I'm degressing, nice thinking keeps us balanced, thanks for the chat up.
You are welcome. We will not make true progress without supporting basic truths. So I contribute to them when I can.
Stop by my post on - When should government fear its people?
It is borrowed material but I think it also addresses our reality. From a slightly different perspective from the original posts but still supports them Too.
Jammin'
There is hope in the darkness! :D
Keep Hope Alive. {:-])
Live Love.
Absolutely. This is a good day. I'm liking it!!! :D
Love - what is not to like? {:-])
How true it is. I agree totally. It starts when we begin aligning ourselves with the truth and see that as a worthy goal. I love the truth completely.

All You Need is Love
LoL
Yes, indeed. That reminder I think is written in my DNA. It's a long and winding road and it sure has been a strange trip. But, at that center, it's nothing less than the most amazing thing I know of. I don't think any of us would have made it without Love.
Have a Good w/e, stay cool!

It is 114 degrees on my balcony right now - so this being North central America USA - I will take that as I should keep my composure - in which case - not a problem. You have a great weekend. {:-])
I'm havin a shot and a beer pain killer - if you are as well(?) - cheers.
Wow!
I'm out here on the east coast, and it's stifling hot but not that far. We're going to 105 tomorrow. I figure with global warming upon us now it's not going to get better any time soon either. If we're lucky enough to live a few more decades we may just witness first hand when that wave crests and spirals humanity into world made from our worst nightmares.
Consequences. Well, anyway, I drifted there. Not nice or sweet. I tend towards optimistism even in the worst of circumstances. I'll take two hope cards plz.
Thanks!
The Puzzler
It has since toned down to 101 at 7:10PM - if you missed my edit above - read it and cheers.
All the more motivation to keep-on keeping-on.
People over profits. People over profits. People over profits. People over profits. People over profits. People over profits. People over profits. People over profits. People over profits. People over profits. People over profits. People over profits. People over profits. People over profits.
The start to the cure.

There's a man with a gun over there............................
who says you got to beware.....................
What's that sound???
People carrying signs...............................
Stop Children! What's that sound ? Everybody look whats going down!!
Sorry. I don't know what just happened. Now, that song will be stuck in my head.
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound

Why all old artists? Nothing to represent the current problems we face, from this generation?
Please take the link below this song was just released.
Makana, also the Pink Floyd link is very recent, and Peter Lackner as well
All these artists made songs specifically for the OWS movement.
ENjoy!!!
You left out "Party in the USA " by Mylie Cyrus.
You pathetic bag of assholes.
Keep playing your "serious" protest songs...and smoke another bowl
Have another beer! Mr. Serious!
For my friends, bong hits on the house!!!
