It was a nice video. Not as good as the early Tool videos, or that one by Toni Basil, but they had a higher budget.
I don't know if you interacted with the actors, but I'm pretty sure the male dance partner prefers male dance partners, though he probably hasn't told everyone yet.

He's very much straight and you could tell that the girl and guy had a lot of chemistry. As a Star, I don't have much time to interact with the bit players, but they did such a swell job. You know how it is. Lots of hard work.

nice job, Meade. if you focus on subtle topics for songs, instead of pressing overt morality messages, you could go far. listen to Gram Parsons and Eliot Smith for some hints.

So.
You basically went w/ the theater concept and then threw it out the window in under a minute.
After using the marquee and then having a very crappy shot of the box office window you just abandoned a very good idea for wtf? I mean, after a decent opening scene it's just shots of this gay guy and his best friend sitting at a table drinking or not drinking sweet tea....with no Ice.....looks fucking stooooooopid......and shots of fat Billy Joel playing and singing out of sync with the track against a backdrop that looks like it came right out of 1985.
Holy hell! I really hope you had to pay those two kids and Byrd Theater for this bland, outdated, under conceptional, hot, steaming piece of poo-poo.
Have a nice day you fucking idiot. :)

I think I look thinner than Kevin Meany or whatever his name is. I don't sound at all like Billy Joel. That is really an insult! Okay, enough with the insults. I think the video is very Romantic and innocently refreshing into today's world of "bump and grind". Even Country videos have turned to smut. Okay, I look very good and well built, and the guy is not gay. First of all, he's Christian. Secondly, you can tell he's not repulsed by the actress. They look like a real couple.

I think everyone is just jealous. I did a very good music video on a tiny budget. If you can't figure it out, then poo poo on you too. The idea is a couple sneaks in a movie theater late at night to have some sweet tea. The guy is singing about it like a memory they had and about the sweet tea they enjoyed together that night. I'm sorry no on can follow a simple story line. As for me looking like a serial killer, that is ridiculous. If anyone does, its Nick.

Well, anyways, I think for an extremely low budget video, it has a good artistic quality that I was going for, and the Actors did a swell job at making the story line come to life.

Also, too, as well.....1985 wants their everything back.

People who want an alternative to loud, noisy, modern dance music, or the Rap/ Hippity Hop that has infiltrated society in the past 20 years. People tired of the endless mirage of "Punk" and Rock bands with loud electric guitars and heavy drums.People who want something with a melody and simple lyrics they can sing along to. Those are the people. Also, I like it. So thats all that matters.

A large percentage of this board doesn't like any of that. They want somber hushed vocals over acoustic guitars with ambiguous lyrics. Or, most of the stuff on www.pitchfork.com
Check that site out Meade, I'd like to hear your opinion on some of those bands.

OK, I'm a girl who normally loves "chick flicks" and comedies, so when I had nothing to do this evening and decided to go see a movie with my parents, (I thought they were seeing "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigalo"...but alas I was incorrect.) and discovered we were going to see "Four Brothers", I was a little upset. I'm normally not one for movies that are seemingly all about people getting revenge and lots of killing and fighting. I dunno..I'm not one for the action/drama type...unless it's a horror movie, and then I'm definitely there. Anyways, I was genuinely surprised at how good this movie ended up being. Each of the four brothers gave an amazing performance. Andre Benjamin showed that he's not only a talented singer, but a talented actor as well.
The movie was much better than I had expected. I laughed, and I (almost) cried. It went through a range of so many different emotions and events in the lives of the four troubled men, all adopted when they were children by one amazing woman who became their world. I don't really know what else to say without spoiling the movie, so I'm going to just leave you with all of what I've said, and the fact that I would most definitely recommend this movie to anyone and everyone.

I'm sorry but I'm not in the best mood today. I had to deal with some smug hipsters at the record stores explaining to me that my records didn't sell very well there the last time, so they wouldn't take just a couple of my new LP's. Their "clientele" is not into my music. It makes my stomach turn just having to deal with these types of people.

What I dont understand is why is the music that everyone thinks is great, I don't like at all. And the music I think is really good, nobody likes? Surely, there must be like minded people who do like the music I like and like the songs I perform. Surely it can't be that everyone has bad taste in music. Can it be?
The ironic part is "Punk Rock" is the establishment. Frat Boys and Sorority Girls listen to "Death Cab For Cutie" and all those other "indie" rock bands that these hipsters view as good music. If they really wanted to ironic, they would listen to my music. I'm as outsider as they come.

So if you don't like Meade's music, you have bad taste?

Not really. Aside from being 25 lbs overweight, I also have Lyme Diease and Fibromylagia. I go into remission some times, but then the symptoms come back. In fact, one of the reasons its so hard for me to to lose this extra weight is because I get so fatigued I can hardly get out of bed some days. The only thing that makes me feel better is eating carbs. which of course does not help you lose weight.
I suffer from MS-like symptoms as well- and migraine headaches. So, no, I really don't have my health either.

Ok, Meade, can you clear up some confusion I am having regarding the video?
1. Is it really sneaking into a place when the door is not only unlocked, but also clearly left open?
2. If the guy singing (you) is harkening back to the sweet tea they enjoyed sometime prior, is the guy in the bow tie supposed to be you when you were younger?
