Title: The greatest music video ever?

That’s Roger Ebert’s verdict, and for once he might be right. You don’t need to know the backstory on this to appreciate it but you’ll enjoy it more if you do. Quite simply, Grand Rapids ended up on some magazine’s list of “America’s Dying Cities”; the locals took exception and set out to prove that they’re still very much alive, and this is the result — 10 minutes, featuring a cast of 5,000, paid for with $40,000 that the director and a colleague raised themselves. Displays of civic pride are often rote and occasionally schmaltzy, but this one manages to be genuinely touching. It’s a time capsule from the heartland, certainly the most American music video ever made whether or not it’s the greatest. You’ll enjoy every minute. And trust me, you’ll want to watch every minute, if only to marvel at the coordination.

One take, guys. One. Take.

That was really cool, despite Roger Ebert's verdict!

Detroit sucks but the rest of Michigan is good by me!  My cousin, Donijo DeJonge, is the comptroller (did I spell that right?) in Grand Rapids.  She fought city hall for a pay cut.  Said the job paid too much and was only a part time job.  She is freaking awesome!

I'll agree with the rest of the state of Michigan being a great place to live. I've been all over the state (certain corners excepting) and up in the UP, and it's lovely.

The southeast corner, however, is a sucking chest wound that simply won't heal.

Michigan is trying to dig itself out of a deep, dark hole.  Despite that, Detroit is still a shithole.

I said "hint of a sag," Gina. That doesn't mean draggin' out the wheelbarrow to schlep those things around.

Besides, my wheelbarrow has a flat.

Nope. It's just a wheelbarrow. I use it to mix concrete in.

When it doesn't have a flat, of course.

Most women have one that is slightly larger. The fun is trying to figure out which one.
