Soulfege Musician, Derrick Ashong, Supports Barak Obama
http://soulfege.calabashmusic.com/
On Jan. 31, Derrick Ashong, a 32-year-old musician and leader of the band Soulfege, was carrying a sign for Barack Obama outside the Hollywood theater at the Democratic primary debate taking place that day.
His sign said "¡SÃ, se puede!" (Yes, we can!), and he joined a crowd milling around in the street. Then a guy carrying a video camera came by and began asking Derrick a series of very pointed questions about why he supported Barak Obama.
"So why are you for Obama?" he asked. It was clear from his approach that he expected a shallow answer.
But, as it turned out, Derrick was glad to be asked, and held forth for almost six minutes — which is a very long time for regular broadcast television. — on universal health care, single-payer approaches and public-private partnerships.
Derrick clearly appealed to the youth movement that is shaking up the 2008 campaign. While his video could have been lost among the YouTube clutter, an editor at The New York Times heard about it and soon it drew over 800,000 views.
Derrik was quoted in the NY Times as saying, "Certain types of discourse are better suited to the Web. There has been so much talk about how this campaign is all about style and no substance, and this video contradicts that. There are reasons that we support Obama, and it has to do with the issues. You can't get that on CNN right now, you can't get that on MSNBC right now, and young people saw it on YouTube and they took it."
