(Newser) – Shades of the '60s ... musicians David Crosby and Graham Nash have announced they will play a concert to support the Occupy Wall Street protesters camped out at Zuccotti Park. The free acoustic set on site this afternoon will feature—what else?—protest songs. Rock-and-Roll Hall-of-Famer Crosby of stalwart hippie band Crosby, Stills, and Nash, visited the park last week, reports AP. The musicians are part of a growing cadre of celebrities getting behind the Occupy protests across the nation, from MC Hammer and Kanye West to Yoko Ono, Mark Ruffalo, and Penn Badgley.

Two of my heros. These men have the balls (since 1965) to face the enemies of the people. FOUR DEAD IN OHIO.
