'Yes, We Can' vs. 'The Scream'
Via a piece in the NYT, I just watched a video remix of Barack Obama's New Hampshire Iowa primary victory speech on YouTube. Assembled by Jesse Dylan (yes, that Dylan) with the help of a lot of entertainment industry folks, it really is worth a watch:
After watching it and feeling inspired despite my innate skepticism I couldn't help but recall the remix (series of remixes, actually) that marked the collapse of another campaign notable for having inspired a lot of young people -- the Howard Dean Scream remix:
Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train (Dean's Aboard)
• Hey YEAAAAHHHHH!! (Outkast remix)
• Dancin' Dean
• Funk Mix
• Welcome to Dean's Jungle
• Dean Megamix
• Dean (Flash) Gordon
• Deansane in the Brain
This one is past the point where it might have collapsed, I think. But what really happens next remains an open question.
