Ray Stevens brings in the new month of June in a big way! What a way to kick off a new month...
June 1, 2010...this was the day that "Come to the USA" was given exposure on America Live, a program that airs on the Fox News Channel, hosted by Megyn Kelly. Even more than the exposure that the song/music video achieved was the extra bonus of Ray Stevens himself being interviewed. Most people will remember that Ray's previous appearance was on The O'Reilly Factor. He and Bill O'Reilly talked about "We The People" and the over sensitivity of some who wish to control what society views as humorous. In other words some of their discussion was about the smothering of political correctness onto society in general...enabling harmless comical songs and movies to become deemed politically incorrect nowadays.
This time around Ray and Megyn spoke of illegal immigration and she remarked that Ray's latest videos have become super-viral...citing "We The People" having hits of over 3,000,000 and "Come to the USA" approaching 2,000,000 hits. Ray gives his opinions on illegal immigration and states that he's all for legal immigration but he doesn't stand for anything illegal. Ray talks about his latest CD, We The People, and mentions his web-site a couple of times.
As of right now Fox News has uploaded the interview onto You Tube and I'm embedding that interview below so you all can see it...
As always I shrink the height and width on any video I embed because I don't want the video to run over into the right side of the screen and jumble up anything that's written over there.
"Come to the USA" is sitting at 1.8 million hits on You Tube and climbing...in a previous blog I mentioned the video was at 1.5 million and that was just a couple of days ago. The actual hits so far for the music video is 1,866,007 and given this is June 1st it certainly appears that Ray will indeed reach 2,000,000 You Tube hits in a month's time: May 13-June 13.
