Barack Obama Has A Posse
Obama '08 Vote Change poster designed by Flickr user xtrapop
Shepard Fairey of "André the Giant Has a Posse" and "Obey Giant" fame ("manufacturing quality dissent since 1989"), recently created a fantastic Obama poster (below, right), in support of the Illinois Senator's campaign.
And of course it was only a matter of hours before folks picked up Shepard's ball and rolled out iconic "Barack Obama Has a Posse" posters and "Obey" style "Obama" images (below, left). Beautiful.
And Barack Obama does have a posse. Including will.i.am, Common, Herbie Hancock, Scarlett Johansson, John Legend, Jesse Dylan, and others:
"Yes We Can" was inspired by Obama's New Hampshire post-primary speech. The Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am turns Obama's speech into a song, speaking/singing along to Obama's words. A cast of all-stars -- including Common, Herbie Hancock, Scarlett Johansson, Tatyana Ali, Jesse Dylan, John Legend, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Amber Valetta, Eric Balfour, and Aisha Tyler -- joins will.i.am, lending their voices to the song and appearing in the accompanying video (above) directed by Jesse Dylan.
Here's the song:
yes. we. can. GOBAMA !
peace
p.s. As I was posting this, the major networks declared that Clinton took California (reported with only 16% of the vote in). Almost instantly, my inbox began buzzing with a back-and-forth email dialog from members of the Boston for Obama campaign group. Folks were very frustrated by the California loss (and early call). But as Kos just noted, tonight was a huge night for Obama. This thing is far from over.
And remember . . . Barack Obama has a Posse !
UPDATE: If you haven't seen the "john.he.is" McCain skewering parody of will.i.am and Jesse Dylan's "Yes We Can" video . . . you must. I mean really. You must. The vid, by LA comedy group Election08, has circulated virally via Kos and hundreds of other blogs in the past 48 hours. My good friend arb linked to it in the comments (thanks arb!) What? Can't be bothered to click through (let alone drop a note)? Oh, OK, here's the link for the hilarious video parody. You're welcome.

Shep was a classmate of mine at RISD and was taking political action of a sort even back then with a geurilla campaign against then-candidate Buddy Cianci. I've always been a fan of his, and I'm pleased to see him behind my candidate :)

In general, Democrats always have the best music and art. Why is that? Is it that conservative art and music are completely unwilling to push the boundaries? There's a lot of beautiful conservative art and music (classical sculptures, sacred music), but it's mostly the kind of stuff you contemplate - it doesn't inspire action. Of course that's the point of conservative politics, right? Don't change a darn thing!!
This is a pretty cool little mash-up. Go-Obama!
Nobody can make a better change in life nore can make a nation move more than obama. Alot of people shy away from him because they are affraid of change but change is always good for anybody. If you constantly lived for the same thing everyday your life would be boring. Its time to make a change and make a better america. Life is too short and we all want to live long and see our children grow. Make the better choice. Race is the past, look toward a better future. God sees everything.
And now that everyone's seen the will.i.am version, they should definitely check out the parallel youtube video for John McCain - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gwqEneBKUs&eurl=http://www.dailykos.com/main/2
Urgh.. that link to the McCain video doesn't seem to work. And it's not right anyway. Try:

Oh.. and it _is_ pretty funny. :)
Thanks everybody.
Charley -- Yeah, I knew you were at RISD with Shepard. Do you have any first edition "Andre the Giant has a Posse" stickers? Or maybe some Buddy "Plunderdome" Cianci Fairey ephemera? ;)
arb -- Yeah, I saw that "john.he.is" parody via Kos. Absolutely hilarious. I think I'll add an update to the post w/ the link. thanks!
Here's another one to add to the mix. It's being used in NYC.

I was trying to put together a greatest hits playlist for 2008 and I just couldn't envision it without the 'yes we can' song...THANK YOU for having it available here. I supported Obama's campaign, attended rallies, and volunteered.
Yes. We. Can.
And did.
