Hip-Hop Hooray for Public Health

Time For Change - Boston rapper? Michael Sermac? Attack on obesity and fast food companies exploiting people.
See Dead Prez - Be Healthy, quite a bit better.

And Sammy's song, "To Niantic" - about the United States. Plus guitar. "To niantic, To Wellesley, To Boston, to Brookline..." obvious Johnny Cash "I've been everywhere" influence, but with the enunciation and the harmonica, he's more into Dylan. "To so many places that I've never seen." This is deep. Also, not having had such a large audience before, he's cracking under pressure, and may actually laugh himself blue. He does have a strong closing yell, very David Lee Roth.

And he plays the straight-man...

Sammy's a great backup for stage comedy.
Now for the Louis Vuitton ad - it's either for Big Love or A River Runs Through It, though the hammered dulcimer in the background is nice.
Does the person create the journey, or does the journey create the person?
Do you have enough money to travel the world to find yourself? Waste it here instead.
Do you suffer from anomie? Buy an identity.
Self-actualization through couture.
I bet the four people in here with expensive handbags are hiding them.

Hello Children!

There's a toothless miscreant running around on stage. Rousing applause for Sammy!
