Help. I Think I'm a Rockstar.

Musings of a former rockstar-in-the-making who sold out to The Man and now collects regular paychecks in corporate America and gets to eat more frequently. Views on music, travel, culture, relaxation, politics, toys, and other general bullshit.



40 Minutes Well Worth It...
Tuesday, March 18, 2008

Earlier today, Barack Obama spoke to a crowd in Philadelphia. The main purpose was to make clear his stance on controversial remarks made by his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. I tend to make my political commentary on this blog as scarce as possible, but I had to share this.

The video is about 40 minutes long, but it's entirely worth it. Not because I think Barack is the solution to all the world's problems, but because the last five minutes of the speech, having built up the context over the first 35, brought me to tears. And whether you think Barack is the best choice for our next president or an inexperienced opportunist, any politician that can inspire my generation to act and can activate emotion in the way he does is worth hearing out. Natch.
