Like 38 million other Americans, we were transfixed listening to Obama's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. It reminded us of the creative process we went through all those years ago, listening to samples of inspiring old civil rights speeches and creating the original "Now Is The Time."
We don't often revisit old songs but we've been spending so much time looking forward as we work on our new album it seemed appropriate to take a minute to look back at the beginning. Plus, right now, no American could be hurt by hearing another inspiring message whether it's on the morning news or at the club later that night. This is a song we just want people to hear.
We understand there are many people who have different opinions and political views than we do, and that's fine. As Americans, we feel it is important for all of us to voice our views and encourage others to do the same. That's why on November 4th we implore everybody to vote for the candidates you feel will be best for our country.
We hope you enjoy this mix for what it is... a rocking jam that is meant to inspire you to move. Which way you go is up to you.
Also, we want to thank Shepard Fairey for creating the Obama "Now" image which is based on his iconic Obama "Hope" poster.
Peace and Thanks for Listening,
Scott & Ken
