Radiohead may have never materialized downtown at Occupy Wall Street, but a stream of other performers have been stopping by -- the latest was Talib Kweli Thursday night, telling the group to "make it grow."
Kweli made his appearance not long after Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Mangum stopped by, and days after Lupe Fiasco joined the effort.
"Here with the 99%," Kweli tweeted.
Kweli, who has a show scheduled Saturday with Res in Brooklyn, came by and performed "Distractions" while surrounded by a crowd of people, without any amplification.
"I'm used to having a microphone, but I'm going to try," he told the crowd before he began.
Later, he told the protesters to "spread the word" about what was going on downtown, where people have been camped out since Sept. 17.
"For the people who are sleeping here -- you inspire us," he said.
And to everyone else, he said: "If you are inspired by them, make it grow. It's about growth now."
