    Waylon: Thanks so much for sharing this video. I LOVE IT!!! Especially the last frame with the Canada goose; I love Canada geese too!! I'm sure you're aware of the other one on YouTube, the one that actually shows the rapper himself and the happy and proud crowd behind him.

  2. Great video and love the Bob and Doug McKenzie pic! Talk about flashbacks!
