Awhile ago I saw some things on Twitter that said that Sean Lennon was on the steps at Zuccotti Park jamming with Rufus Wainwright and others. I found only one picture so I wondered if it was true.
Well something just showed up on YouTube so I thought I'd write a quick diary to share it with all of you. More videos are likely to show up and I'll post them as updates if I see them.

Lennon is on the right and Wainwright is on his left. At the end, someone Josh Fox (Gasland) says "that one was dedicated to Ben Bernanke" :)
Another video, farther away:
Update: Another video has been posted on YouTube. It turns out that Wainwright and Lennon and other musicians were there with Josh Fox who made the film, Gasland, and Fox was there as an anti-fracking activist.
Embedding is disabled, but here is the description and the link to the video.
