Eric Roberson is known far and wide for his on-stage freestyle songs during his concerts. At some point during his set, he'll ask his captivated audience to provide him with a handful of random words, and--being the genius that he is--he'll take those words and craft them into a song right there on the spot. I've seen Erro do numerous freestyles since I've been attending his live shows, and he always kills. I used to have a personal favorite, but that all changed this past Sunday at the 16th Annual Capital Jazz Fest. The man created an anthem for Barack Obama right in front of our eyes. By the time he sang the chorus, the crowd of thousands could be heard singing "O-BA-MA!" in tune with him. Even McCain supporters had to sing along. It was truly an incredible and moving moment.
