Following the success of his viral hit “Yes We Can”, Will.i.am released his latest Obama-supporting single “It’s A New Day” on Wednesday on the Web site dipdive.com.
“This was inspired by America. It’s about Obama winning, and really paying tribute to those people who are responsible for that happening, and that’s the American people,” the Black Eyed Peas leader said Tuesday night. “The whole thing is really for people to leave testimonials … to create a page and leave testimonials on how they feel about this American accomplishment.”- Associated Press
I dig the Will.i.am tune. What I did not dig however was a Will.i.am hologram discussing politics with Anderson Cooper on CNN Election Night.
It’s not what is being said that bothers me. It’s the fact that Will.i.am is a hologram. The only holograms I like are ones backing up Jem in 1987. The whole futuristic CNN election coverage was a wee much. Changing the future is awesome. Pretending to talk to futuristic people is weird. But hey, that’s just one lil’ ol’ American’s opinion. Carry on you space age-y illusions, carry on.

New verses…
We have a chance to educate a new President this morning, and we will summon our energy, creativity, compassion and love and teach him about autism.
Yes we can.
We will give him a lesson in science and statistics without institutional politics, and lay out a path to answer our most pressing questions, the questions of our childrens’ future.
Yes we can.
We will persevere against the obstacles that until now have denied our very existence. We will introduce our children to the world, in numbers and names and faces that can no longer be ignored.
Yes we can.
In the not so distant future, our work will bear out and we will hear a message from the top. Through our struggle against the lies of omission, in the days ahead we will come to hear our President declare a worldwide crisis of humanity, a festering planetary epidemic, an age of autism.
Yes we can.
With that message clear we can focus not on getting to Mars, but on bringing our children home.
Yes we can.
We will find the causes of autism and reverse the waves that are crashing down upon us.
Yes we can.
We will research the remedies of autism so that as parents we do not have to rely on hope alone.
Yes we can.
We will take away the self-serving assurances and chase out the snake oil salesmen of all types with the truth, because our children deserve better.
Yes we can.
We will beat back this beast and put it in its cage, and together the reward of our struggle will be that we will see our children recover and walk free again, and talk free again, and live free again.
Yes we can. Yes we can. Yes we can.
