Searching for a song

James McKinley jr, in today's NYTimes, underlines the lackness of an anthem for the OccupyWallStreet's people, today assembled at Zuccotti Park, Manhattan.
The songwriter Mr Morello has tried to propose Woody Guthrie's songs and himself's compositions but still the Movement needs a very personal anthem to be played as leading song for the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression of the twenties.
I hope they will find a scale pop composer for writing a good text and a proper music, but if they don't I suggest them to adopt the Bob Dylan's "The times are a'changing".

Like a film story

Sound really like a movie-story the facts narrated  in  the autobiography of the Rolling Stones's guitarrist Keith Richards as DM on line reports today (please see the link below ).
Standing to that report, in the late sixties the MI6 (all together with a specialized sction of the the american FBI) asked a quick wit man, named at that time David Sneiderman, to join the british rock group in order to set them to the Justice through the provider of different drugs (specially acids, from which the informant has been named since then King Acid).
As matter of fact the man, died in 2004, became the best Rolling Stones 's dealer and organized with his employers a trap in the Keith Richards's house in Redlands during a heavy drug party he had adequately provided.
When the Police ran in the house, King Acid was not in.
-"He was the only one to escape the arrest"- reminds Keith Richards in his book- " and that's why, since then, I've been quite sure he had been the police's informant!".
Now I understand the reason why in those years I liked better the Beatles.
