Well, it made me happy for three or four minutes (well, it + beer).

Hey, I don't know what his cause was but it's cool to get along with everyone. Seems like
he's having no problem in that department.

Thanks for the post! I remember when this guy first hit the world stage, as it were. The first 30 seconds I thought "this is really stupid, more 'we are the world' BS" Dancing, happy faces, and rainbows won't make everything right in the world I said... true, but I really don't think that's the point. Maybe it's just a reality check, a perspective check. While there's a lot of bad one must not forget to see the good in this still beautiful world. I'm not the dancing type but by the time I finished seeing Matt and his journey around the world to do something as simple as this, to see all these great and special places, made me feel really good.

It surprised this cynical Gen Xer.
