When, at the rally's climax, Matt and Ben finally spoke, I was prepared for the worst. Hollywood boy-toys often do not fine orators make. However, I was pleasantly surprised by their presentations, both of which were extraordinarily eloquent and apparently sincere. There was some irony in listening to two twenty-somethings who each earn millions of dollars every year--largely due to the fact that they happen to be born handsome--extol the virtues of economic justice.

...After the event's undercards, Rahzel and Choclair, had rhymed the crowd to a fevered pitch. He also has a new album out on Asphodel Records, Eye of the Cyklops. Add to that the fact that a good part of the audience had turned out to see the Beastie Boy's DJ on the basis of association alone. Maybe 60 percent of the audience comprised wannabe B-boys hoping for a solid dose of the "Flute Loop...
