Playing For Change: Stand By Me

This turns out to be much cooler than I expected. It’s a collaborative version of the Ben E. King classic, Stand By Me…performed by scores of musicians around the world. But…not in the same location.

Christian The Lion

Some years ago, a couple guys tried to raise a lion cub in captivity…but he grew too big and had to be released into the wild. Years after, they traveled to Africa to see him. They were told that there was no chance that he’d recognize them. The video tells a different story.

Where The Hell Is Matt?

Some time back, a guy named Matthew Harding put together a video of himself dancing in different locations around the world. He’s back…with a video that took 14 months to produce, and involves thousands of other dancers. It’s pretty inspiring!

Boston Fans Help A Guy Along

It was Disability Awareness Day at Fenway Park. The guy chosen to sing the National Anthem got a case of the giggles halfway through the song. Would the crowd savage him? After all, this was a sports crowd. But no, they help the guy finish strong. A very human moment. Hard to watch and not [...]
