Gas prices fuel singing protester

Like the rest of us, Jay Weinberg is spittin' mad about the price of gas these days.

But unlike most of us, Weinberg is taking action. On Monday, he was arrested in Indiana after climbing atop a gas station roof with a guitar and singing in protest.

Officers pulled down Weinberg, 29, after about 15 minutes. He was charged with disorderly conduct.

Here's a story from the AP. And we found a video of the song on YouTube, but sadly, not of Weinberg's performance:
