(I keep my speakers on mute). <br /><br />When I saw them mention of it being performed/recorded, I went back and listened, and I have to say that if you haven't watched it on silent -- you should.<br /><br />And no, that's not an insult to the speaker (who sounds strangely like Jeff Bridges). The words speak for themselves, and their voice is stronger without the audio.Josin L.

There's a total match between Taylor Mali's poem and the visual presentation: they are both the perfect expression of the "most aggressively inarticulate generation" to date!<br /><br />I love it - thanks for drawing our attention to it!<br /><br />After I stopped laughing I got a little worried. We've really lost our ability to express ourselves with "conviction". I wouldn't like to count myself among the members of this inarticulate generation. Hope I'm not!
