Barack Obama - Man In The Street (Bloomington, Indiana)

Barack Obama made a surprise visit to my town of Bloomington, Indiana (March 11th 2008). Music by The Hooters, "Man In The Street" from their CD, Amore. They are an independent rock band from my home town of Philadelphia. This is their version of The Skatalites' "Man In The Street," a live demo from the very first Hooters recording session in 1980, which was also the band's first song to be heard on the radio. I think it was first played by Pierre Robert, WMMR-FM 93.3. Pierre, correct me if I'm wrong.

The Hooters are an independent label band, so the only way to buy 'Amore' is through their web site http://www.hootersmusic.com/ Just click on store and then the album 'Amore'. There's a choice between cd and lp. It's only $12, and worth it from start to finish.
I highly recommend this album. It's one of the best that came out of the early 1980's that most people, except those of us who grew up in Philadelphia, know about. It's definitely a hidden treasure.

He signed his name upstairs at Nick's English Hut on Kirkwood.

I'm jealous I wasn't there. I hope people vote with their brains, and don't believe this gas tax holiday gimmick... which will actually hurt Americans.

OMG He was walking down Kirkwood past VD (Village Deli)!!! Wow... So weird seeing Obama in the place I see every day, huh?

[ScottJoseph08]

Thanks for the comment by the way - I never thought anyone actually would see anything I put up here. Go Phillies '08!

[ScottJoseph08]

Yeah? I'm from Philly. I grew up listening to them on 'MMR. I made this video - not the Hooters. I live in Indiana now and Barack Obama came to my town. This is video of him here - I just added the music. I'm hoping for the best too. And, after quite alot of thought, I'm voting for the most qualified candidate. Just 13 days left until President-elect Obama!
