"Yes We Can" to Music

Saturday, February 23, 2008

This reminds me of a GAP ad mashed up with a speech, but it's pretty striking. It was produced by Will.I.am of the Black Eye Peas. The guitar track is beautiful. He speaks candidly here about his inspiration & how it all came together. He claims they turned it around in one and a half days .... Four days later it was playing around the world in multiple languages. The reporter asks if the musician has heard from Barack. I love his reply ... "No, he shouldn't have time to call me." Classy answer. While the candidate might not have time to pick up the phone, the Obama campaign would love for you to share the video with friends.

And, yes, that's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. CNN's Jeanne Moos took a look at the phenomenon, including a not-so-flattering "No You Cant" spoof about McCain in this segment. McCain can't seem to catch a break with the online crowd.
