This event took place on October 15, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series.</p> <p>Words and Music is the the 2008 album by Hale, an English singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer. This is Hales' fourth album (and third U.S. release) under his longstanding nom de disc Aqualung, and it has the feeling of a series of deep emotional truths whispered in confidence. Hales co-produced with his brother and musical right-hand man Ben, who also provides guitar, bass and harmony vocals, and co-wrote several songs, and it is the product of an extended period of soul-searching that caused the artist to seriously reexamine his career priorities, after a life that's been spent making music. "Music can be an amazingly potent thing," says Matt Hales, aka Aqualung. "When I sing into the microphone in the studio, I'm whispering my secrets in people's ears. When it connects, it can be so powerful. It's still a remarkable process to me."</p> </div> <a href="/blog/59007-musicians-google-aqualung">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/57963-obama-and-mccain-trade-jokes-kind-words-at-charity-dinner 2008-10-17T10:53:22Z <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pYyinkWLtHE&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pYyinkWLtHE&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/57963-obama-and-mccain-trade-jokes-kind-words-at-charity-dinner"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/70794" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Barack Obama and John McCain at charity dinner, October 16, 2008</p> </div> <a href="/blog/57963-obama-and-mccain-trade-jokes-kind-words-at-charity-dinner">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/57848-cute-singing-baby-s-first-words 2008-10-22T16:53:20Z pamspam2008 <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YkOSG_o_lqo&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YkOSG_o_lqo&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/57848-cute-singing-baby-s-first-words"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/70607" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>ickle wickle baby singy winging his first MCCAIN words.</p> <p> John Mccain is dead John Mccain is dead John Mccain is dead John Mccain is dead John Mccain is dead John Mccain is dead John Mccain is dead John Mccain is dead John Mccain is dead John Mccain is dead</p> </div> <a href="/blog/57848-cute-singing-baby-s-first-words">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/53673-julius-mccains-roman-empire-collapse 2008-12-04T10:33:19Z Brian Beach <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/r4kRocdMtMQ&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/r4kRocdMtMQ&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/53673-julius-mccains-roman-empire-collapse"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/65148" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Gallup Poll Obama 47% - McCain 45% <br />Obama pulls ahead. Remind yourself only this thing. Polls dont win elections, the Electoral College does. </p> <p>Obama 273 McCain 265 <br />All things can change during the presidential debates and undecided voters. Independents still favor McCain but the percentage dropped 2%. <br />_________________________</p> <p>Senator John McCain attacks Senator Barack Obama attending a Hollywood fundraiser sponsored by Barbara Streisand, but forgot he had a Hollywood event sponsored by Jon Voight. </p> <p>Media critics and some Democratic strategists are coming to the conclusion some believe race plays a factor in this election. Senator Barack Obama is regarded as a nigger to those who wouldnt [and I mean wouldnt] vote for him cause hes Black. See the merchandise some came up with. A sock monkey with Obama name stitched in the toy, a man who makes a Curious George T-Shirt with Obama 08, two men create Obama Waffles depicting him as a Muslim, Mexican, Aunt Jemima and demeaned his wife, Bill OReilly says lynching party, Rush Limbaugh says black man-child, Sean Hannity says radical, rails on and on about Jeremiah Wright. Dick Morris talks about Blacks being militant. Fox News runs demeaning stories. Lou Dobbs even buys a box of Obama Waffles. Some conservatives were leaking emails and racial division to smear the Obama Campaign. Republican Congressman Lynn Westmoreland called Obama uppity. Karl Rove called Obama arrogant. Former Clinton donor Lynn Forester de Rothschild comes out to endorse Senator John McCain, called Obama arrogant. Mark Penn former Clinton campaign strategist used some divisive comments about Obama and was one of people who spread emails about Obamas pastor and religion.</p> <p>Governor Sarah Palins favorable ratings are sliding [for now]. But all is good; she will get a boost from the Obama campaigns biggest foe. Sean Hannity will give the second interview for Governor Palin. Leave it to Fox News to give the easiest ride in this election. An opinioned journalist who gives a partisan interview to a rising star in politics: Oh, I am sure the media will pan this as bias.</p> <p>Senator John McCain hog ties Carly Fiorina after making two disastrous gaffes on a talk radio show and MSNBCs Andrea Mitchell. Fiorina, a former CEO stated Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin could not handle a business. Talk about trying to correct herself! In the YouTube universe, its played over and over again.</p> <p>Democrats and Republicans nudged together an oil drilling [with limitations] off shore bill and may ease the tension from both political camps. </p> <p>More things to come during this few moments of informing those who are willing to understand whats going on in the world! Not all people take pride in being ignorant.</p> <p>Once again, thanks to all those who support my videos! Take a stand against corporate owned media by turning off the television, radio and internet smear machine off. And of course, check your facts before presenting a video.
