Annie Palovcik: CHANGES
featuring ILLINOIS BOY (A Barack Obama Song)
Barack Obama inspired the release of this 5-song Extended Play CD called CHANGES. I first heard about the Senator while on one of my annual holidays in Honolulu, where he grew up. Some of our Hawaiian friends'' children had gone to school with him. They told me of their pride in this Senator from Illinois. And that he believed in a Dream. And he titled his autobiography THE AUDACITY TO HOPE.
I thought I would put out this song, ILLINOIS BOY, sometime when he next ran a campaign. I guess this is that time. Hope it helps get him elected. This really is the time to make our dreams reality. All the songs in this collection are about CHANGE.
ILLINOIS BOY is witty, whimsical and fun, with a slight country flavor. A few friends have suggested that you can’t refer to a black man in America as a boy. But it’s not unusual in country music to call a youthful man a boy, and I think they are overlooking the change in race relations that Obama’s candidacy so clearly embodies. The title of my CD is CHANGES.
So, boys and girls, as it says in the last verse of ILLINOIS BOY, “Nothing’s ever gonna be the same!"
