GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN WAS NEVER BETTER SERVED


I watched the video, and I was made to remember that I taught English and Christian Education in Grand Rapids School of the Bible and Music long ago in 1972. I also remember that I used to visit the Eerdman's book clearance store in Grand Rapids and find some real bargains, though they had some defects causing them to be marked down 80%.

And, one day in 1989 I was going to that very store following an old Buick in my red beater Valiant, and he turned left just ahead of me, and I followed him. The siren wailed, the red and blue lights started flashing, and I was served a nice ticket by a Grand Rapids cop for doing a left turn against a no-left-turn sign. The guy in the Buick needs to buy me pie and coffee at the Amway Plaza for taking the ticket instead of him. The thing that will not leave my memory is when the cop handed me the ticket and said, "Sorry buddy." They don't make cops like that anymore.

So, here is a piece of promotional work like nothing I have ever seen before. The music theme is a bit blasphemous, but you really need to watch this and marvel that so many Michiganders could do so much so well in the lip dub department.




HEY-- I bet you watched it at least twice, right?
