This is a really amazing project… Just amazing. Check it out:
From the site:
“Let’s get together and feel alright”. While recording and filming in Dharmsala India, where we planned to add some Tibetan singers to this track we passed by a small record shop on the side of the road. The display featured about 50 Tibetan CD covers and one Bob Marley album in the middle. This song around the world is in dedication to the love inside each of us. We can achieve far more together as a human race than we ever can apart. One Love.
If you don’t know, now you know: I’m headed back to my old employer (though in a new position). My 18 months in the advertising and marketing world have been interesting, but in a few short weeks, I’ll be headed back to the high-minded work of getting more butts in seats at Cardinal Stritch University. It was a difficult choice on a number of levels, but I’m confident that it’s the RightThing[tm]. I’m going to consult with Versant for a while, but once I’m back in school (a very sweet benefit) I’ll probably need to focus on that.
It’s an interesting thing to return to a previous place of employment. I’ve begun the process of reconnecting with people I used to work with. Some people have new jobs, a lot of people have new bosses. Pretty much everyone is in a new location on campus. I expect my first day will be a surreal mix of the familiar and the unfamiliar. I have no illusions about things being as they were, and frankly, my confidence that things will not be as they were was a major factor in my decision making process. The good news is that I am not as I was, either.
A lot of growth can happen in 18 months.
Oh, and here’s a little Kweli:
That was the 1st Kweli I heard on Channel 8: the Box.
