Pink Floyd had marching hammers in "The Wall" so why not rank upon rank of head-banging electrified cello's to lead the charge against Wall Street? What better a way to show the hypocrites and traitors of the conservative establishment that even their own will turn on them sooner or later? Boys and Girls, can we say "Bow Attack?"

Theme for a protest...
This one is from my son, who said if the British can use "The 1812 Overture" to blow up Parliament (in "V for Vendetta") then by golly gump we American's should use "Hall of the Mountain King" for a theme song for the assualt on Wall Street. And you know what? I think he's right. Somehow it all fits. The version below is a bit off (ok, a good ways off) the way it would have been performed in Grieg's day, but somehow? It fits today, it fits the mood boiling below the surface of our country.
