It's a vid tribute to 50+ years of fandom, to "We didn't start the fire". It's incredible. I cried, and it made me realize that so much of what I did as a kid, as a teen, before I had ever heard of "fandom", was about me being a fan. New Kids on the Block, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Babylon 5. So much of my youth was about these obsessions, these strange and poignant obsessions, and I, even 8 years into being an official part of fandom, never really made the connection until now. Damn, this was powerful.
