Here are excerpts from an article in the Dallas Morning news about Erykah Badu's new video:
Erykah Badu appears naked in her new music video, but what people are talking about is the background scenery.
In the five-and-a-half minute video, the Dallas-born entertainer strips down with Dealey Plaza as a backdrop.
At the edited-in sound of a rifle shot, she falls to the ground with a jerk, within feet of where President John F. Kennedy was shot.
Badu said in an interview Monday that the video for "Window Seat" was a "protest" and "about liberating yourself."
She said she chose Dealey Plaza as the backdrop because "the grassy knoll was the most monumental place in Dallas," and she compared the criticism she expected to receive to Kennedy's murder.
"I tied it in a way that compared that assassination to the character assassination one would go through after showing his or herself completely," she said. "That's exactly the action I wanted to display."
