Lots of commentary from people that don't need to be talking- why?
Feels like a grab to draw people who wouldn't otherwise give it a second thought; Garth Brooks? Come on, completely unnecessary. Some girl who no one's heard of, Grand Rapids making a video, boomers opining on their desire to take over the world with 'Peace and Love!!', Peter Gallagher's reading something, Weird Al, point is, a lot of people yammering on about something they had nothing to do with trying to make this longer than it needs be.
Just some insight from McLean, HIS ORIGINAL VERSION, HIS explanations, his story, what he meant to do and what it means today. That's it. That's all you needed. Instead it's hours long and listening to people with no business singing it, singing it.
Just a complete waste of what could have been.
