Will Butler's speech in Carrboro (Arcade Fire Show)

[thehappiestcamper]

At this point in my life, I don't really concern myself with political parties anymore. I'm a Christian who's grown up in Texas, so presumably one can understand what political views I've grown up around. :P But even if my parents don't understand why I'm not planning on voting even though I'm 18, I really do love my country too much to continue the left vs right. Huh. I'm getting all "deep" again...

aww Regine dancing toward the end =)

[rhcprh]

All politics aside this speech sucked. It was just a bunch of generic statements with the use of the word change. He doesn't write their lyrics obviously

[rally240]

DOWN WITH OBAMA! i cant afford health care so Obamas' administration will surcharge me aprox. $947. If i cant afford health care, how can i afford the charges from NOT being able to afford health care? Thanks for making matters worse. Its my RIGHT, AND MY FREEDOM to NOT have health care! I like AF but this kid giving the speech needs to calm down...

[w1ldtr1ck]

@rally240 i am a HUGE fuan of arcade fire too, like obsessive, but i don't believe in obama either

[GlamPuppet13]

Win Butler for president!

[rareflorence]

guam and puerto rico hahah

[BehindTheSea29]

Ugh, he's an excellent speech-giver haha

Really knows how to get the crowd goin'

[jennyhaze]

It's funny that Will seems way more comfortable speaking to a crowd than Win generally does. Mind you, Will seems way more comfortable flinging himself onto and off of things that might kill him, so I guess it makes sense.

[alucardlubu]

funny cos most of arcade fire are canadian

[odiemarshhen]

The Butler brothers are from New Hampshire and have lived in Montreal just for the last while...less than 10 years. You Americans are always welcome to live here, especially when you are this talented and well nice.

[BehindTheSea29]

@odiemarshhen Win and Will were born in the woodlands of california, raised in the suburbs of Texas, and have lived in Canada for about 9 years, well, Win has. Will moved up to Canada about a year after Win did

[listerfiend510]

...Except win and his brother

[wrenandox]

Go Will! Thanks to you, and thanks for this video! Go Obama Biden 2008!!!

[princessfrigga]

@wrenandox you're welcome!

[DellaTruesome]

I don't think it was bad, I think it was honest and from the heart. You can have a nice, polished speech if you rehearse, but then it's calculated. And he got to the bottom line...be sick of fear. "don't know where we're going... but let's go~!"

[jessesun]

lol, love will and love obama, but this speech is pretty bad

[TheThroney]

@jessesun no this speech is actually great. because he was speaking from the heart and on the spot without having a speech written for him. he speaks truthfully.. if only politicians did this we might actually start to believe what they say.
