One of my favorite things about the informational video is that it opens and closes with a picture of an American flag ruffled by the wind. The symbols of America are often hijacked by the Right. Members of disfavored groups are encouraged to believe they are second-class citizens, not entitled to those symbols. By taking back the flag, Wake Up Productions reminds us that it is ours, too.

As you can see above, Wake Up Everybody, is now available at Amazon, at a discount. I will be buying mine there, if I can make myself wait.

Just checked at LimeWire and Poisoned. "Wake Up Everybody" is the top download at both. I've long been interested in how memes spread, so this is interesting to track.
Good news for Teddy Pendergrass, too. People are downloading the original "Wake Up Everybody" along with the remake at the peer-to-peers. Could crossover to selling vintage Blue Notes and T.P.
