Hawaiian Guitarist Sings "Occupy" Song to Obama, World Leaders

This is great. The Yes Men posted this (link below):

Honolulu - A change in the programmed entertainment at last
night's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) gala left a
few world leaders slack-jawed, though most seemed not to
notice that anything was amiss.

During the gala dinner, renowned Hawaiian guitarist Makana,
who performed at the White House in 2009, opened his suit
jacket to reveal a home-made “Occupy with Aloha” T-shirt.
Then, instead of playing the expected instrumental background
music, he spent almost 45 minutes repeatedly singing his
protest ballad released earlier that day. The ballad, called
“We Are the Many,” includes lines such as “The lobbyists at
Washington do gnaw.... And until they are purged, we won't
withdraw,” and ends with the refrain: “We'll occupy the
streets, we'll occupy the courts, we'll occupy the offices of
you, till you do the bidding of the many, not the few.”

Those who could hear Makana’s message included Presidents
Barack Obama of the United States of America, Hu Jintao of
China, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono of Indonesia, Prime Minister
Stephen Harper of Canada, and over a dozen other heads of
state.
