This is a great piece of music and an equally well produced video of the performance. Did you encode and upload the original edit to YouTube? If so, I'd like to know if you used Final Cut Express or Pro and what specific settings did you use in FCE or FCP to achieve the pristine HD quality of the video playback on YouTube?
A year since it spilled 5 million gallons of oil, BP, the oil industry, and federal regulators still do not know how to plug an oil blowout, while cancer plagues the 1st responders exposed to dispersants. Oil coats the marine fisheries & wetlands that protect New Orleans' coastline, hatch the oyster and shrimp fisheries that feed its people, its culture, and its music. Our nation failed the people of New Orleans in 2005. Let's not do it again people- this time it's on us. Like if you agree.
@TheNoCoincidence You're probably right but I must point out, having a Jewish mother myself, I was raised and told that I'm better than my regular black friends (my father is black). I'm not accusing Lenny's good heart of similar arrogance but it's fun to consider it lol.
Wtf man. This is such a great piece of music!!! I cant stop snap my fingers, "Aaaach it ain't my fault" is on my mind all the time, can't stop singing and dancing!
@tusentossing He is also a musician (TR), but may just be doing some 'siiting in' stuff here. Like hanging out with headphones. Who knows why he was there? I just wish I was too...awesome jam!
Now people killed to see Nas and Damian Marley shows and to buy that CD.. Now Lenny Kravits and Mos Def would be the illest colab for a album and tour. What you think?
8181 is right. The oil is on all of our hands. Its all our fault. Demand new energy and it will be given. Use less and care more.... All that being said this song is SUPER tight.
Big pimpin, Big problem, Bad president, Billionaire Pirate...
GREAT SONG! Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.... But it is our fault! I've been reading FU BP and to some extent it is true. However, we demand the oil for our cars, SUVs & trucks. Which normally only carry one person. We are selfish & this is everyone's fault unless you don't have a car, use electricity or oil synthetics. Yes BP did it. But that is how they making a living. We demand it and they supply it. SO SHAME ON US! Lets do something to fix the mess our demand & need helped to create!
Delahoussaye of the Holly. Cosper of the Yellow Rose, we donate in your honor. Ah, Your Lives at Cynthiana still sing and dance with Mos and Lenny. I'm blowin' my big trombone for y'all. GET AID TO OUR GULF COAST.
Incredible music in the New Orleans Dixieland tradition. I though Pete Fountain might walk through the door from Bourbon Street playing clarinet riffs over this funky groove! He didn't - but it ain't my fault!!
