Audiences of all ages have thrilled to the post-corporate comic stylings of satirical songster Dave Lippman.
The 99% troubadour (he's not yet complete) afflicts the complacent, takes the air out of the windbags of the week, de-distorts history, and updates worn-out songs with parody and thrust. 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 succeed in Occu-Buying Occupy? Stay tuned!
