Dear Mr. President by Pink

Have you guys heard this song, 'Dear Mr. President'? I'm not necessarily a huge fan of Pink, but I think the messages she sings about are incredible.

If you haven't heard it, you can listen to it on my MySpace.

I LOVE Pink--especially her soulful, amazing voice. She's the real deal. I have a thing for great female rock singers.

Oh...the song! I like it. I haven't seen the video for Stupid Girls yet, but I hear it's pretty entertaining.

LOVE her voice and music, HATE the song. I don't want to hear Pinks political views, I want to hear her sing amazing songs!

No, Everything, I'm sure you have NO problem hearing artist political views when you AGREE with them.

Art is political. Art should be political. Some of the greatest art is political. Look at the Vietnam era for great music on both sides of that debate.

Pink's song is gorgeous and fantastic. And every word is TRUE. And God bless the USA that we live in a country where we can fight injustice in so many ways, but especially through art.

I LOVE this song so much! I heard it awhile ago on Rosie O' Donnell's website. She is absolutly amazing and this song really expresses how majority of society is feeling. It is a shame that this song will never be on the radio due to fear of an other Dixi Chicks incident. I give full props to anyone who takes takes the chance to play this for the public! Brava PINK!
(Martha Graham from a letter to Agnes de Mille) "There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening That is translated through you into action, And because there is only one of you in all time, This expression is unique. If you block it, It will never exist through any other medium And be lost. The world will never have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, Nor how valuable it is, Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, To keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware Directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, A blessed unrest that keeps us marching And makes us more alive than others."

The song is definetely aided by the fact that it's featuring The Indigo Girls. It's really a great message, and is lyrically wonderful.

I love this song. I don't think it's an outright "I'M POLITICAL AND I DON'T CARE" kind of song, or an F-YOU to the President in the vein of the Dixie Chicks (and I do love me some Dixie Chicks by the way). But it's more of a realistic "sit down and talk with me" conversational song. But sadly people won't see it that way. "Stupid Girls" got airplay because it's funny. If she releases this one, which I hope she will, it will have a hard time getting off the ground since it's an artist being "serious and human" which is a crime to radio.
I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

i applaud her for not conforming and singing about what most responsible people think about (stupid girls and this song)

I LOVE this song. Whether or not I agree with the issues in the song (most I do, a few I don't) I think this is a wonderfully written and sung piece!

re: Dear Mr. President by Pink

Broomstick, I completely agree. She's not coming at it with a "I'm going to bash the President" standpoint, but at a very calm, answer my questions kind of view. I'm not sure if that made sense, but anyways...

I love this song. It'll be on my MySpace for a while for all you people who still want to hear it.
