I know, I know. "Free Bird" is a joke, it's been a joke for my entire life: lame, basic, overplayed.
But this new (as far as I can tell) video changed the song for me. I feel pretty much every frame of this in my soul. I see splintered, kaleidoscopic glimpses of my past, my present, and my future all the way through, and it changed my understanding of the song entirely.
I know, I'm a maudlin old man. Feel free to make fun. But maybe watch the video first. 🍻❤️
