upon seeing the video for the yes we can song put together by will.i.am and a bunch of his friends, i got a little tingle in my shoulders, one that grew right through till the end, as a good tingle does.
the tingle reminded me of a tingle from 4 years ago, one i got repeatedly, 'cos i watched eminem's animated mosh video like 12 times.
how's that for respective ends of the spectrum -- two songs, drawing on a similar base of inspiration: each is directly hopeful, is unabashedly, exclusively about solidarity; and each as different from the other as black from white.
