According to the Occupy SF twitter account, liberal activist and radical guitarist Tom Morello is expected to make an appearance on Justin Herman Plaza this afternoon at 4 p.m. We don't have much than a tweet to go off of here, but we're inclined to believe this one: Morello is scheduled to play the Great American Music Hall tonight under his Nightwatchman alter-ego. Also on that bill tonight is Boots Riley of The Coup, a frequent conspirator of Morello's who put on a free concert at Occupy Oakland last week. Morello himself dropped in to Occupy Wall Street in New York last Thursday, so he's obviously sympathetic to the cause. more ›

As we settled into our seats for the world premiere of documentary It's My Country Too, there was a generalized hubbub as a tall man wearing black and carrying a guitar case strode down the aisle. We heard his escort say, "It's so weird that no one's recognizing you!" Turns out that man is Pakistani-American rock star Salman Ahmed, the narrator of the documentary It's My Country Too. Ahmed is the lead guitarist for the band Junoon, which has been called the U2 of Pakistan. We think this makes Ahmed Bono (scroll down to read Bono's letter to Ahmed), since the Edge doesn't seem to take too many positions on global politics. It's My Country Too follows Ahmed as he travels America trying to see how 9/11 politics have affected the Pakistani-American community. After the jump: Muslim comedians, Muslim lawyers, and the founders of the website Muslims for Bush (who are Salman Ahmed's aunt, uncle, and cousin). Picture of Salman Ahmed from the BBC website more ›
