American Pie a la mode

 I may be one of the last people to see this remarkable video, but if you haven’t either, and agree that “American Pie” is one of the great American songs – check this out. A large fraction of the city of Grand Rapids going kind of crazy doing a thousands-strong lip-synch of that song . . . including marching bands and fireworks and a popgun duel and dancing and football and you name it. Great fun.

This is a live version, slightly different from Don McLean’s more famous one. With a kind of spooky audience sing-along.
