Was pointed to a site for a song by Ian Rhett who is trying to raise money to do a[nother] political music video. There are many such endeavors on the net, but this one particularly struck me. (If you haven’t heard it, click on the “didn’t know i was unamerican” – it’s a Flash video.)
The kids with a daisy may be a reference to this ad (direct link to a streaming Quicktime movie) by Lyndon B. Johnson, who won that election and went on to escalate the Vietnam war more than any other president. Thanks to mindlace for the reference, and to earth for the pointer to Rhett’s site.
This has been an inspiration both artistically and politically. I hope that Ian continues to do this quality of work. We need it now more than ever.
