Stay with it for a few seconds - it's really neat.

2. It's a WONDERFUL uplifting video. I post it now and then on FB and get lots of "likes". n/t

3. Can't you just see all the people on Wall Street doing this?

So much bad news lately.

This was so good to see.

I've never seen it before.

4. The video was originally called 'Where the Hell is Matt?'

and it's one of my all-time favorites too. The song 'Praan' is fantastic. Lyrics by Rabindranath Tagore.

6. Why such dreary music? nt

[leftyladyfrommo]

7. I like the music.

You think it's dreary?

I don't. I think it's happy.

14. It sounds like a dirge to me. nt

8. One of my faves. I was thinking yesterday about Occupy flash dance mobs...

Since getting permits are becoming more and more difficult in some places, impromptu (though obviously pre-planned) flash dance mobs with Occupy messages (signs, t-shirts) would be cool, and uplifting.

:hi:

9. It would be so neat.

As long as you can keep people from getting violent.

Damn, that can happen so fast and it's so important that these are completely peaceful.

[OneGrassRoot]

10. There are so many examples of flash dance/singing and even meditation "mobs"...

and they are all well received, that I've seen. The where and when is certainly important.

I'm going to search for some of my favorites on YouTube later. They always make me smile.

Thanks for helping us start the day with a smile.

:hi:

11. Your average person will look at that and think "whackos."

Trying to make OWS a friggin' dance-based flash mob is goofy and insipid.

12. Bingo. n/t

[leftyladyfrommo]

15. Oh, I don't think so.

I don;'t think it hurts to make people laugh once in a while.

I just don't want to see anyone get hurt at one of these protests. It can turn really bad really fast.

I was in school when Kent State happened. That never, never should have happened but it did.

13. Very cool! Thank you!
