    • 2012 March 28, Karen Lowe, “How Communal Singing Disappeared From American Life”, in The Atlantic‎:
      Although they're more fragmentary, the protest moments involving song still have Stamp excited: from ongoing sing-ins at courthouses to resist home foreclosures, to the night when Occupy was evicted from Zuccotti Park in November, when dozens of arrested activists sang "Stand By Me" and "With a Little Help From My Friends" in the halls of central booking.
