Comment: This program was recorded at Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan on December 2oth, 2011. It continues the recent Dusty Show series of Occupy-Based shows. On a cold afternoon as light rain fell and gathering darkness grew, I interviewed a few members of a small contingent of Occupiers around the perimeter of the park, in addition to some interested tourists and passers-by. While admittedly lacking the visceral quality of some of the heavy protest-oriented Occupy shows, I thought it might be interesting to record on a 'down day' when no call-to-action was occurring. And, of course, I was interested to see how the holidays factored in to peoples emotions and responses. I hope you'll find the exercise worthwhile.

Comment: That's it for another Dusty everyone, I hope you enjoyed it. Occupy stays alive, though quielty, for the moment. Who nows where it will go in the future. As I've said before, I'm not sure whether or not to continue weekly coverage or if I should bail momentarily. I've been playing it by ear. I find it all very interesting, though I know it isn't everyone's cup of tea. I hope you'll continue to listen. I appreciate your support and loyalty. Get in touch with your thoughts. dusty@wfmu.orgI love to hear from you. I hope you had a nice Christmas/Hannukah, Festivus,Kwanzaa, Ramadan, Whatever! See you next time. Until then .... take care and .... always remember. Clay PigeonNYC
