Washington -- Musician and political activist Jackson Browne gave a free performance at Occupy Washington DC in Freedom Plaza on Monday, just four days after visiting Zuccotti Park in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street.
"Music is like the heartbeat," Browne told HuffPost, speaking about the importance of music within the Occupy movement. "I think it helps motivate and helps give people heart. Even love songs have the resonances of people who want freedom, who want fulfillment, who want a prosperous life, who want their dreams to come true."
In D.C., he performed five songs for roughly a hundred listeners ranging from occupiers to passers-by, loyal Browne fans to workers on their lunch break. The songs included "Casino Nation," "Far From These Arms of Hunger," "For America" and a cover of Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul's "I Am a Patriot." The fifth song, "Battle for the Future," was inspired by Occupy Wall Street.
