Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello To Play Occupy Wall Street Gig

Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello is to perform at the Occupy Wall Street protest in New York.

Morello will play at midday today (October 13) under his solo guise as Nightwatchman.

"The Nightwatchman will Occupy Wall Street tomorrow at noon, adding one more voice to the growing chorus of millions demanding economic justice at home and around the globe," Morello told Rolling Stone.

"And I'll be playing some songs. Likely in the rain."

Morello is not the first music star to put his weight behind the demonstration.

Earlier this week, Kanye West visited Manhattan's financial district with music mogul Russell Simmons.
