Tom Morello

When the AFL CIO, UFCW and others were mounting efforts to echo the voices of Wal-Mart workers, Big Bowl of Ideas set to work on identifying various celebrities and notables to do so along with many others at work as a ramp up to Black Friday. Among the results, was getting hard-charging, kick-ass, world-renown guitarist Tom Morello to do a digital shout-out to the workers.

Making arrangements with his team, we caught up with him after a performance he had just done for Voices of a People’s History (which BBOI was also excited to support with promotion and in-kind services) in Los Angeles. With no more than some poster board and a gigantic jumbo marker, we got a shot and it got pushed out into the digital universe.
