My dear friend Supergirlest promotes Brett Dennen with good reason. This guys is amazing.
This is what love should be about... taking our privileged blinders off and caring about others... This Valentine's Day... let's embrace truths and show our love to others in the world by opening our eyes and letting the awareness of inequities seep in. With love for others we can be moved to action and work together... and to do our small part to create a better world.
I much prefer this perspective on Valentine's Day to candy and obligatory gifting. Every year around Valentine's day I cringe every time I see a diamond commercial. Not only do we all need to be aware of the truth about diamonds...
But I personally am sick of Valentine's Day commercials like this JC Penney commercial (you have to go to their site to see it.... look on the right hand side where it says watch our valentine's day ad) I am sick of the stereotype that women are mindless idiots that drool over sparkly things that their big spending and overpaid MEN buy for them so they stop complaining. Plus it drives home an attitude that women are commodities that can be bought and controlled by men with money. Jeezzz.. I have to go barf!

That's a great song and video! Thanks for posting it, now I want to go listen to more of that artist's songs right now! It's great to see a music video with a real message in it that can actually make you think about what's really important in the world.
