Yes We Can!!!!!
Edited on Sat Feb-02-08 03:28 PM by Cheney Killed Bambi
This "Yes We Can" video by Jesse Dylan and will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas based on the New Hampshire election night speech by Barack Obama is one of the most powerful works of political art that I've ever seen. It dives right into the center of your heart. If you haven't seen it yet, you MUST watch it. Click on the link:

1. TRUE ORIGINS of this song:
I thought the style seemed familiar and wanted to know the origins of the song, which "dipdive" did not provide, so I did a little digging.

Interview _here_ and full video with lyrics _here_.


GObama! _YES, WE CAN!_

6. I didn't like it.
I don't like hip-hop in general; has done more harm than good for society.

7. From all your posts today, it's clear you don't support Obama
Those of us who do, find his message inspiring. Hopefully, you'll listen to this message and come to see what Ted and Caroline Kennedy are talking about.

8. IMO
You'd practically have to be dead not to find this music video inspiring.

12. I'm not sure if I like that
one better, or this one:

Fired Up, Ready to Go

Heck, I'll just have to watch them both again.

GObama!
