Dear Mr. President
I’ll never forget months ago riding in the car with the family when the song Dear Mr. President came on the radio. I had no idea who was singing at the time but I was FLOORED that radio was playing this. It’s raw, honest and straight to the point. Pretty much sums up my feelings as well.
Someone just posted a link to the video on Twitter and I had to share. Pink is one of the FEW truly talented recording artists out there. I think her choice in music is crap sometimes, but she does have raw talent in my mind.

I discovered that video back in August when Brian Noe sent it to me (After David Crosby sent it to him) and blogged about as well. I bought her CD from iTunes out of respect, and thereby broke my pledge to only buy Indie. But it was a good thing.

[…] For all the music I listen to, I rarely ever buy an album based on one song. Today was one of those days, though, thanks to CC Chapman. One song made me a Pink fan, and it made me buy her new album from the iTunes Music Store. […]

When I first heard this song in July, I sat down and I cried pretty hard and then I played it again. And then again. Even now, it still makes me cry. Speaking up, speaking out is something that I hold great respect for. Pink gets a huge page in my book for doing so. Simply amazing.
