Before the album's release I reported on a leak that Greta Thunberg would be making an appearance on the album. I was laughed at, scorned at and bullied for reporting this. Looks like the haters owe me yet another apology.

I lol'd when her face was revealed. Not gonna lie.

Other than that, I thought the video was great and I love the song.

Was making this look like an FMV from a 1996 Playstation 1 game intentional?

For some reason that video reminds me of one of GNR's Use Your Illusion-era narrative videos, like the one for "Estranged" where Axl goes swimming with dolphins. Which is to say, looks pretty if you don't think too hard about it. I also feel like Mike is looking more and more like an aging member of Green Day.

The song has grown on me a lot, though.

My wifi is worse than I thought, that video looks like hell.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

With a little luck, maybe the rest of you all will finally begin to appreciate let the records play too.
yeah, maybe. It was the first time the song got me.

I've loved it from leak day. Strat doesn't like it so he hates Pearl Jam
