DALLAS  –  A music video that depicts R&B singer and Dallas native Erykah Badu walking and stripping naked on a downtown Dallas street is drawing criticism from officials in her hometown. The video the Badu ballad Window Seat depicts Badu walking in front of the Texas School Book Depository from which President John F. Kennedy was shot fatally in 1963. As she walks, she strips nude and is shot down near where Kennedy was shot. On her Twitter feed, Badu says the video “was shot guerrilla style, no crew, 1 take, no closed set, no warning, 2 min., downtown dallas, then ran like hell.” City spokesman Frank Librio says her crew never applied for required permits. He says “guerrilla” film crews who “usually shoot these scenes in one take know that if they are discovered they would face arrest and/or penalties.” AP
