[seraphoftreason3]

Isn't 9 signficant in masonic philosophy?

[thunderbirdscarlett]

My Momma says Obama

We got the Change, Kennedy ,"Ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country"

Love this song!

[mymommasaysobama]

We keep Trying ,in the face of ....

My Momma Says Obama's

[BrianMaki2005]

Coming from a Person who has been to the town Halls,and the Tea Parties(not a birther though) what does this have to do with the song anyway? Michael Penn is a great,often underappreciated Artist.Obama is a Politician with legions of people who can't think,or won't think for themselves,and a 24 hour spin operation.How are they related?

[The4thGuy]

Wow, I can't just stop listening to this song!

[kcaj789]

He's married to that girl from 'Till Tuesday... remember the song Voices Carry?

[ashtraytv]

Aimee Mann.

[FranklyMisterShankly]

The "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" reference at 1:50 is brilliant! (Yowsa! Yowsa! Yowsa!)

[jakespick]

there's also Thomas Jane in there. He's the guy hugging the woman at 2:03-2:08

[Rarab2]

Wasn't it Melora Walters he was hugging?

[azurepeepers]

This reminds me of the old Army Hospital at Ft. Campbell. The hallways went on forever and ever and you had to walk a mile to have bloodwork then a mile back to the exam room. Seriously. Ok random I know.

[jeremyc311709]

it could be Walter Reed army hospital... he did write a song about it.

[azurepeepers]

Nope. Looked it up. According to Wikipedia, it was filmed in downtown Los Angeles in the longest hallway in North America.

[GG1991]

doesn't this video have about 4,5 cuts in? its absolutely a feat of genius by mr. p.t anderson.... and the songs not bad either!:P

[Vameon]

One of the best music videos ever made.

[incognitopeppermint]

I love this vid. Phillip Seymour Hoffman just added to this. Definitely looks the part of a roadie.

[nickmjones]

Incredibly underrated record. Penn is a titan.

[shatteryib]

I kind of miss the old Michael Penn.

[Tfmusicmaker]

wow.. Sean Penn's brother..

[MattIAm1987]

Really? Huh. Interesting.

[FaiSchlechterWolf]

he looks like an english prof at my college :D

[4tild]

Good Video- Penn's a good artist.

poetic inhis works... yeay!

[CicKiz]

In this video, he and Ryan from the Office resemble each other so much.

[OneWayTV]

One of the sickest videos ever.

[GlittersfromBilly]

you are beautiful..

[mothman6789]

This song is SO rockin'!

[radovest]

Extraordinary

[singingnymph]

Such a sharp dresser he is.

[06371671]

Awesome long take. PTA for the win.

[bi88283]

I bought the first 2 albums when they were new & loved them, then sort of forgot about them. Recently I picked up the other 3 CDs, and not only enjoyed them but also fell back in love with the first 2. So it's really cool that I have 5 CDs worth of great music from Michael Penn. I'm now a big fan.

[K3vinF]

All Beatles All the Time sound.

[octavia9]

FIRST CONCERT!!!!!!!!!!!

[wackeychan]

i like the nod to the film 'they shoot horses don't they'

[bilbosballs]

Well done. A fantastic musician, and a fantastic filmmaker.

[IndigoScimitar]

I just recently discovered Penn's music...and I love it! But it's so impossible to find many of his songs online :( Oh well, it gives me an excuse to buy his CDs! :D Course, my favourite song of his is Walter Reed...

[zhelia]

Eh... I just can't find any of his CDs where I live, so I probably have to wait until I go to the States for summer to listen to more of his music =)

[zebonaut]

Wow! I had "MARCH" on vinyl back then and loved it to pieces! This is on of the finest music vids i saw in years (toppped by the FILED MUSIC vid with the drawing! :). Great song, too! What album is this from?

[IndigoScimitar]

It's from the album "Resigned" :)

[BmoreG4real]

Sean Penn! The Brothers Rock, R.I.P Chris Penn

[mothman6789]

God, I love this video! PTA and Penn made an awesome team!

9!!!!!!

[ntnfoxworth1]

it is a shame that mr penn did not get his due. ilove this fookin guy. whats he up 2 these days.

[FranklyMisterShankly]

This video comes with the special edition of Boogie Nights. Good God, this is waaay back when Phil Hoffman was just a schlub playing supporting roles.

[jwashley]

One of the most underappreciated and underrated guys in the biz. Was this all shot in a single take?

[mabryzealand]

Yes it certainly was. This video is featured on the Boogie Nights special features, as it was filmed while they were making Boogie Nights. Director, Paul Thomas Anderson also has a commentary explaining the video. It's good stuff.

[kermsroomy]

Michael Penn is a brilliant talent. If you like him you may be interested in checking out some of the Honeydogs videos. He is a compadre of theirs and it shows. Please let me know what you think.

[BlueAnders]

Absolutely brilliant! Penn and Anderson rock!

[cmichael4]

I like the THEY SHOOT HORSES DON'T THEY homage. Is that the longest hallway in the country? I think it jus might be.

[ee0r]

All the references to "The Prisoner" in this video are really great. Even the name of the album and the album cover are Prisoner references. Totally cool.

[utubegeneration]

where's this and that and no myth viacum sox

[farkyoutoob]

wheeee so sweet. The song itself without the video... feels slow now! :(

[flyerboy1]
