Being the amazing, true-to-life adventures and (very likely) misadventures of a writer who seeks to take his education, activism and seemingly boundless energy to North Minneapolis, (NoMi) to help with a process of turning a rapidly revitalizing neighborhood into something approaching Urban Utopia.

Uncle Lennie Demo Gets Romantic Soundtrack On YouTube...
A resident of NoMi, relatively new to YouTube but obviously learning rapidly, took some footage of the "Uncle Lennie" demolition and set it the very lovely "Canon In D" classic music piece.
For the record, the original soundtrack was...
..."Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye, but YouTube doesn't allow free use of that copyright music. Which is too bad, because the backhoe butt waggles were so perfectly choreographed with the hose work.
Sigh. Life ain't perfect, but when history gets written there are often a lot of typos and compromises. Enjoy the video. I know I do.
OMG - I think we have beat the Uncle Lennie's horse to death already.
ReplyDeletebeautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know, I think this story has a lot of life left in it.
ReplyDeleteI'm just wondering when Lennie will try to file a lawsuit against the city for the demolition of his oh-so-valuable $3,000 dry-rotted building, full of precious pee-stained hooker mattresses.
Unfortunately, it's not easy to set the filing of a lawsuit to a musical soundtrack...
