I WANT BARRACK ! Remake of a great 80s Hair Metal Song and Video

Twisted Sister strikes again ! Just in time to put mortal fear in the hearts and souls of Republicans everywhere ! Horrifying and terrifying Republicans is so much fun ! This is the best of the songs out there showing support for Obama, plus it brings back a fun and good memory of a great song and video from a generation ago. Think of all the songs that have the word "rock" in them and these rewrites to include Barrack instead rock are countless.

Arthur C Clarke, 1917 - 2008

Arthur C Clarke was one of the giants of science fiction writing, and his loss is great one for the worldwide community of literature, its writers, and its readers. Clarke rose from humble beginnings in England, serving in WWII with the RAF as an officer in a radar facility (somehow that seems just right), before launching his writing career. He authored over 70 books, and is best known for the shortstory, The Sentinel, which was later made into the epic film, 2001: A Space Odyssey. Clarke envisioned and foresaw greater technological developments decades before their realization, includins satellite communication and the lunar landing. His imagination was always evident in his books as they were colorful, creative, and thought provoking. He spoke and worked with government officials, scientists, media, and other writers. Clarke was entered into knighthood by the British monarchy in 2000. Only Ray Bradbury survives from the classic era of great science fiction with Clarke passing to join recent passings of other science fiction writing legends Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein.
