Joe Arthur: Mo’ ‘Rama for Obama

Writes special song, films video, in honor of the election win.

By Fred Mills

Let's see, something special happened on the night of Nov.4... hmmm.... Oh yeah, that's right. Apparently Joseph Arthur's dad was pretty chuffed to, so he called his son up, they yakked about Obama, and then Arthur wrote a song, "Change Has Come."

He subsequently performed the song two nights later at the Music Hall of Williamsburg before what we're told was "an enthusiastically rowdy and hopeful audience." No shit.

A few hours later there was a "guerilla video shoot" at 5:00am at Brooklyn Bridge Park - otherwise known as "Jo's Place."

View the live video below. Change, yeah. True.

Arthur's album Temporary People will no doubt figure prominently in this year's BLURT year-end Top 50, coming to a friendly neighborhood website near you very soon....
