“Pit Bull Blues” Video
Defends Maligned Breed and Soars in
Popularity Video Director,
and animal rights advocate, Jeff Fleiss
released the official music video for
John Shipe’s “Pit Bull Blues” on July
14th. The immediate response was
overwhelmingly positive in light of
current events relating to Pit Bull
Terriers.
Before Fleiss posted the video on You
Tube, grass roots demand was high for an
official version of “Pit Bull Blues.”
The song had been adopted as an anthem
by advocacy groups around the world, in
protest of canine abuse, Breed Specific
Legislation, and the high-profile case
of ex-Falcon quarterback Michael Vick.
Re-postings and uploads of the song
now amount to over a million hits,
appearing on many websites, and in
several homemade videos and slideshows
widely circulated on the internet.
Jeff’s official video version is the
only one featuring Shipe as performer.
It includes a handful of celebrity
cameos, and enjoys the blessing of
reputable Pit Bull rescue operations and
animal shelters.
Of the project, Jeff Fleiss says:
“The one thing that I learned from
making this video is that you can’t go
wrong with a great song.”
“Pit Bull Blues” is included on two
CD compilations and as part of the
soundtrack for two documentary films,
including Vicktory to the Underdog,
produced by Brandon Bond, the
Atlanta-based tattoo artist involved
with rescuing several of the Pit Bulls
formerly belonging to Michael Vick.
Appearing in the video is pit bull
rescuer and celebrity Linda Blair, who
runs Linda Blair’s World Heart
Foundation. Also appearing is local
celebrity Dog Man’s pit bull training
class. Dog Man works in South Los
Angeles devoting himself to teaching the
proper rearing and socialization of the
breed.
John Shipe is a singer/songwriter
from Eugene, Oregon. He has released 8
albums in a 15-year career, and he tours
extensively, both as a solo artist and
with bands.
Jeff Fleiss, based in Los Angeles,
California, is an activist for the Pit
Bull breed and founder of the production
company Doggy TV. He created the Animal
News Network which features breaking
global human/animal interest stories
about animal activism, health & rescue.
Jeff also produces Rescue Roundtable,
hosted by Mary Catalano, and co-produces
Critter Crusades with host Missy
Woodward. He has taped hundreds of
hours of non-profit events, protests,
public humane forums, Los Angeles Animal
Services Commission hearings, and
political rallies.
