Hagar Releases Right Now Sequel, Hopes Songs Will Inspire Pres Candidates

.
(antiMusic) Sammy Hagar has released a video for his new track 'Cosmic Universal Fashion,' off his forthcoming solo album. The clip is a sequel of sorts to the 1991 Van Halen hit "Right Now," which turned up in the news this past week when the track was used by a presidential candidate at a campaign event and Hagar's former bandmates issued a statement denouncing its use. Hagar took the opposite approach and seems pleased that his the lyrics are still relevant today. A thought which is echoed in new his song, which he co-wrote with an Iraqi musician. Hagar said in a statement: "When I wrote the lyrics to 'Right Now', I intended them to inspire people to not sit around and wait for something they believed in but to go out and get it, to make a change however they needed to. Whether it was McCain who used the song or if Obama had chosen to use the song, with the current political climate, the lyrics still have the same meaning, and we all need to do something to make a difference, every action counts. "In fact, I still feel so strongly about this that I wrote a new song 'Cosmic Universal Fashion' with a young Iraqi musician in an attempt to motivate a new generation to the same affect. I am pleased to be associated with the lyrics to my original song and the new one in hopes that both will make people move to make a difference." The video for the new song "Cosmic Universal Fashion" can be viewed at - Blabbermouth
