His Occupy Singalongs are the hit of any party. Or non-party. Sample tunes: All We Are Saying is End Corporate Crime, I Hate Wal-Mart, Alberta Tarbillies, Ghostwriters of the Law...

Mandatory listening: Brother Can You Spare a Diamond, Sgt. Pepper Spray, Geithner Fit the Battle at Goldman Sachs...How will Wild Bill finesse the collapse of capital and find a new way to rule the world? Will he Bank on America, or are we all turning Chinese? Can Hugo Chavez be stopped from using Gaza to embarrass the US and hand the world to Iran? Stay tuned!
