    Well, it's not the kind of song I’d want to listen to more than once, especially after seeing this slick, over-produced video with its pastiche of utterly self-conscious black and white “performances” (if it isn’t sacrilegious to describe the posing presented here with such an honorable term). What is most disheartening to me is that the amazingly real and profound talent that exists in communities of color is only barely hinted at in any of the pitifully colorless, ersatz scenarios Hollywood envisions for us, which are served forth endlessly to the youth of the world in an unchecked electronic stream. While the current transition of political power taking place in Washington may elicit our heartfelt cries of boundless joy, as well as globally harmonious sighs of relief, let's not neglect to keep our critical faculties up to par, centered in the truth, and ever so closely in touch with one another.
