Anybody else's family in a shambles due to this election?

62. I can only claim part of that.

Atticus had the idea and wrote what became the first and third verse. I asked him for his approval to run with it and make the video. When he said OK, I wrote the middle verse, and directed (from afar) the music track and the video. Atticus had the original inspiration. I know he saw it as a video, but heard nothing from him shortly after. Although I am loathe to make the speculation, as I recall, he lived alone and was retired. If he suffered a debilitating stroke (or worse), and had no immediate friends or family who was aware of his DU participation, there is no way we would have been informed of it. That could be the case for many of us, I suppose.

There are several of the videos that I wrote that have seen some serious popularity. My first collaboration with Don of the Parody Project, "Mar-a-Lagoville," is closing in on a million views. Ghost Donald In The Sky and a few others are well over half a million. Even "Whiter Shade of Fail" now has over 350,000 views. Unlike Randy Rainbow or some more famous others, we have no advertising or media interviews. We are OK with the viewers we have. It's just a hobby with me, and I'm in it for the fun, not the money. The modern day version of shouting from a rooftop, if you will.
