The Greatest Music Video Ever? Posted by SarahDMZ (Dennis Miller Zone)

VIDEO: The Greatest Music Video Ever?
June 3, 2011

For once, Roger Ebert and HotAir.com might agree on something. See what you think about this stunning Grand Rapids music video, directed by Dennis Miller's radio guest, Rob Bliss.

When Grand Rapids ended up on the list of 'American Dying Cities,' they wanted to prove that there are still in it to win it. With $40,000 and a cast of 5,000, Bliss's goosebumps-worthy video uses a live track of Don McLean's 'American Pie' and a single take through one of the heartland's most prideful cities.

  1. I'm still trying to figure out if the video wants to make some point, and the closest I can come up with is this: we're letting those things escape away from us that truly make us American. This is a bad thing while at the same time a good thing.

  2. Great video, but what does it mean? Is the meaning supposed to be this: we're letting those things escape away from us that truly make us American. This is a bad thing while at the same time a good thing. Or am I out in left field with this thought?

  3. I always thought the song, "Bye Bye Miss American Pie" harkened back to simpler times when we could just enjoy life without contorting ourselves and equivocating into some politically correct expectation. After all, a wise man once said, "Expectations are disappointments under construction."
    Who determines what those expectations are? If we give in to political correctness, then we just set ourselves up for somebody who comes along and says he's for change, like the pied piper.....
