Yoko Ono adds song to Occupy Wall Street album, says Lennon sends movement smile
This spring, a compilation album inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement called "Occupy This Album" that will feature music by a wide variety of artists will be released. A short list of the artists featured include Crosby and Nash, Chroma, Jackson Browne, Tao Rodriguez Seeker (Pete's grandson), Arlo Guthrie and family, Third Eye Blind, Toots and the Maytals, Lloyd Cole and Loudon Wainwright III. Also on the album will be Yoko Ono, who has expressed her support of the movement several times in her weekly Twitter posts. Though no details are available yet about Ono's song, Jason Samel, president of Music for Occupy and executive producer of "Occupy This Album," told us in a phone interview that he'd wanted to include her. She was finally brought in to the album by Richard Barone of the Bongos, who's also on the album and knows her.
