Robin' Hood

I woke up this morning with a picture in my head of Barak Obama's face Photoshop-ed onto a striking pose of Errol Flynn dressed in suitable camo for Sherwood Forest... green cape, brown shirt and cap. Take 1:55 to see America through the eyes of Barak Obama.



Watching the trailer I had to hold back my laughter. It's not really that funny, though. The strange thing is that along with this image in my sleep was the soundtrack of the famous Rap group Public Enemy's recording, It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. Prophets Of Rage, Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos and Rebel With Out A Pause served as the soundtrack for the meeting of the future President and Michelle Robinson in 1989. Just to let you in to a piece of the past... you need to listen to this music. You need to know the kind of fuel that feeds this fire.

Interspersed in between the tracks are recordings of Louis Farrakhan (born Louis Eugene Walcott) and Malcolm X (born Malcolm Little). Go check it out for yourself.

See you Tuesday November 2nd, 2010
