Yes We Can
This is nicely done.

It's a video produced by the Black Eyed Pea's will.i.am and Bob Dylan's son, Jesse.

I'll put up the video in the next post.

The Black Eyed Peas' frontman, songwriter and producer known as will.i.am, along with director and filmmaker Jesse Dylan, son of another socially active musician, Bob Dylan, released a new song Friday that attempts to do just that.

The music video "Yes We Can" premiered on ABCNewsNow's "What's the Buzz" on Friday. It was inspired, will.i.am told ABC's Alisha Davis, by Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign and in particular by the speech he has gave after the New Hampshire primary.

i love this comment posted on youtube:

Quote:
I am a Republican, and I intend to vote as one in the fall election, but something very unexpected happened to me when I watched this video. This touched me very deeply to the point that I don't quite know what to say right now.

Watching this made me tear up, and I don't know what to think about that. This is the fourth time I have watched this video, and I am feeling something very unexpected inside.

I looked at the YouTube version. I can't stop thinking about it. It something we really need. Inspiration. Mostly what we hear about is all negative in the world.

This is really well done, it definitely sparks emotion and shows what I believe Obama is about.
