Or in old person speak: There are lines around every record store to buy the just-released single. It has been played on YouTube 200,000 MORE times since I made my post. 75K likes and over half a million views in six hours. I'll check in again when It hits a million. I'm guessing it will take 8 hours at this point.

This will be the song that is used to explain this moment in time. Only time will tell if I am right but the future is full of documentaries that will need a sound track. Not sure why you'd argue that happening, but this song is a defining moment of coalition built around a song by one of the most popular musicians in American history.

Most importantly, when a protest song has taken the top spot for a few weeks, other artists will follow and the whole conversation changes when that happens. This song will pull people into the conversation, don't underestimate the incredible power of that.
