I Have a Dream

I mentioned in an earlier post a thing called "auto tune the news." In my opinion it's a fascinating mixture of fun and playfulness with legitimate satire, and musically there are actually some really good moments. The artists who produce those short videos (the Gregory Brothers) also produced an interesting tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. They auto tune his famous "I have a dream" speech and produce a sort of postmodern anthem. Whether or not you like it, I think it's incredibly relevant given events in the last few years, as well as the current political climate. Should this replace the original speech? Obviously not. Does the original speech even need help to reach people today? I doubt it. It's incredibly powerful on its own. But does this take on it present an enjoyable and compelling tribute to the man? Absolutely.
