1. LOVE it!
Edited on Mon Aug-06-07 07:52 PM by silverweb
Can't send this to everyone on my list, because some are easily offended by naughty language, but I love it and lots of other (especially younger) people will, too.

Check out another great video by the same person _here_ -- set to Eminem's "Lose Yourself." Well done!

GObama!

4. No can do. It has the F word.
Much as it may be a familiar word to the guy who wrote the song, much as a lot of people pour it on their conversations like salt, "F" puts it off the radio and TV. And a campaign song you can't play won't do any good.

I've got a better song, an angrier song. "Think" by Aretha Franklin. Just the first line; "Think...think about what you're tryin' to do to me" would be great if crowds shouted it at Bush every time he showed his face.

"Freedom...freedom...freedom...freedom!"

The more I think about it, the better it is.

5. That's great!
I'm glad to see the young people becoming inspired and expressing themselves politically. I hope they know how much the country needs them to step up and shake some cages. Boomers might be offended, but really that's too bad. We didn't do all that great a job anyway.

7. Not this boomer.
I'm a boomer and I loved it!

The only people I know who would be offended are the previous generation. All are in their 80s now and every one of them reacts with fury to the "F" word.
