Last week, Jeff Mangum, a.k.a. Neutral Milk Hotel, performed a free show for Occupy Wall St. protesters. (Check that video out here.) Now, Talib Kweli has too. He performs a new track "Distraction," and "Thieves in the Night." Then, before leaving, he gave this short speech:
"I'm at a loss for words. But even me being at a loss for words, is amplified. They want to know what the endgame is? This is the endgame. You doing your job, everybody here with a camera, everybody here with a smartphone, everybody here with a voice. Do your job, and spread the word. For the people who are sleeping here, you inspire us. If you are inspired by them, make it grow. This is the endgame. It's about growth now. We have to grow. And that's the point. I love y'all."
