Barak Obama brings unity?




With the excitement of electing a new African-American President and the great accomplishment that went into unifying people of all races, religious beliefs, genders and ages at least for that day. Us here in America made it blatantly clear that we want change. Well at least 52.7 percent of the nation wants "Obama" change. And majority rules at least when it comes to this election. But as I try to make a transition to what this means for house music, or the community that surrounds the culture, I wonder if that exuberant amount of unity will spill over into a changing of the politics in Chicago.

Now don't get me wrong I agree with others that I've talked to. We here in the "Chi" are totally spoiled. We have some of the best djs. We put out some of the best music and edits. We have soundmen; some have connects with clubs and hookups on licensing. And I guess if everyone pitched in you know a community effort the money wouldn't be that hard to find.

So what’s stopping Chicago from throwing the ultimate party or a series of head-bangin parties? You know something worth attracting people from all over to. Call me optimistic but I would hope petty politics and egos could be pushed aside to give everyone a taste of music with no boundaries. Let the djs play Hmmmmmmm. There's a concept.
