When we knew when to debate and when we knew how to put it aside and be humans again. What a time. Hope someday in my lifetime we can get back to that mindset or at least close.
He called him Sir, Mr Speaker, and shook his hand constantly. Chris Farley was really proud of that moment and he enjoyed making them laugh while giving Newt the utmost respect. You don’t see comedians do that nowadays.
Good friend, Mr. “I’m right” leftist dolt, isn’t he? Probably a boomer. He proved your point and illustrated it all in two dumb comments. XD RIP Chris. You and your caliber are missed.
Alec Baldwin playing Trump is hilarious though. The move would have been for Trump to join him on SNL for a skit to show it doesn't bother him. Bernie Sanders went on there with Larry David and rolled with the punches, as well as other politicians who comedians do parradies of. Not to mention, can you imagine the ratings a trump/Baldwin sketch would get?
Back when people can laugh at themselves, people weren’t offended because it was in good fun. It wasn’t mean spirited either. Newt was a good sport for this!
@@Will-xk4nm You mean where they walked orderly in a line in the capitol building and picked up the trash? Yeah I saw some mean looking grannies waving their little American flags around, rough stuff. All after being let and told they could be in there? I can see why AOC was scared for her life across the street and in a totally different building. I wonder what it would like if leftists did the same, maybe 9 months of riots and burning federal buildings. Attacking the capitol, jeez that's crazy, we should ask Susan Rosenberg her thoughts on that matter.
@@wickedbabayaga No, I mean where people were trampled to death while attacking the police guarding the building. I mean where more than 400 people have been arrested for various crimes, including violent crimes, while attacking the capitol. I mean where they were chanting "Hang Mike Pence" one minute after Trump tweeted about it. I mean where Capitol Police were desperately radioing for backup and pleading with the Military to send in the National Guard. I mean where people tried to gouge the eyes out of police, beat them with hockey sticks wrapped in the American flag, and placed bombs and weapons in vehicles around the perimeter. I mean where the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys had been in communication with the White House and White House advisors in advance. You should maybe try reading any of the few hundred charging documents for people arrested at this event. I'm sure they brought flex-cuffs in order to lock up their bikes, right? LOLOLOLOL The fact that you have to gaslight the planet to pretend like 1/6 wasn't about stopping the peaceful transition of power says a lot.
@@Will-xk4nm All of those people are being railroaded for non-violent crimes. Even snopes which is far-left propaganda says besides Ashley Babbitt the others died of natural causes from being fatties. On the other hand, far more people were VIOLENTLY murdered during the BLM riots that raged across the country for months. BLM and antifa agitators also were caught changing into pro-trump gear and inciting violence at the capitol. The far-left terrorist group that actually BOMBED the capitol in the 1980s had their sentences commuted by Clinton, and sit on the board of BLM LOLOLOLOL. You keep saying "stopping the peaceful transitiion of power" because you are a propagandist not arguing in good faith, you know damn good and well it was about stopping a rigged election.
1995 man..time has flown...Trump and Jeffery were sleeping with teenages during those years...i think Trump was in between 1 and 2nd wives at that time...hard to believe he's in office now...well..hopefully not too much longer.
@@cs21uncc you poor baby. Still butt hurt Trump won. He has been a great president. I vote based on what people will do and have done not on the person themselves. Biden has been in office 47 years and hasn’t done one bit of good. I could list so many facts it ain’t even funny. If Biden wins we are finished. My goodness you people are so ignorant.
@@cs21uncc and what about ol slick Willie? He was best buds with Epstein. But I’m sure that’s completely fine since he is a democrat. Bill screwed an intern in the white house and yet nobody ever says a word about him. But Trump breathes wrong and he is the worst person in history. Y’all are such hypocrites.
This is not true at all. The Gingrich era was lies and hate and division by the Right. Holy moly, you just admitted your guilt for Iraq through gross ignorance.
Talk about the ability to light up a room. Chris Farley had such an honest and nervous energy, and was a genuinely sweet guy. He was a special talent, and a special person. Rest In Peace big guy.
The irony of it all was that newt Gingrich was the person responsible more than anyone else for creating the political climate that we've got today. He put an end to reaching across the isle and taught the republicans how to get mean. They practically were always a minority before him and couldn't consolidate their power.
When we were very close to ending racism smh. I cant believe we've let the democrats take us back to racism all because they want power. Imagine how greedy and selfish you have to be to actually try to resurrect such a disgusting thing smh. We were actually really close to being color blind.
He created a ripple-effect of laughs around the world 30+ years ago and we’re STILL laughing with Chris Farley! Omg what an Enormous, timeless gift he’s given us :)
The thing that makes me shed the most tears about Chris Farley is how much of a wonderful person he really was. He visited the elderly. Visited sick kids. Once a week he volunteered at his church feeding the homeless. And he never told anyone he did these things, not even his family. He never wanted any accolades for any of it. Everyone in his life couldn’t help but love him. It’s true what they say. The good die young.
Imagine being such a charismatic and talented comedian, that a room mostly filled with old politicians, who your show constantly makes fun of, still know who you are when you enter the room, and all clap and cheer for you throughout and at the end of your bit.
They could laugh, as long as they were getting rich passing tax cuts that were "paid for" by putting the nation further in debt. Almost half a trillion in interest every year (and counting). Thems were the days.
Political scientists have credited Gingrich with playing a key role in undermining democratic norms in the United States and hastening political polarization and partisanship.
seriously, when he goes into character he IS that character and there's no breaking it, as soon as he's done he goes right back to the shy giggling gentleman that he is
Farley was such a great entertainer. Got a chance to meet him in LA. He was the most authentic person I've met. A real loss and as said below something so funny and innocent would never be allowed today.
Fantastic! Played the role convincingly - without stumbling or hesitation! EVERYONE was rolling in their seats - totally NON-PARTISAN! Wow - what a perfect achievement!!
I laughed the whole way through, and then I cried. It's tragic how much we've lost in this country. We've fallen so far, and most don't even realize it.
There's nothing mean-spirited about this. It was all in fun, and good spirited. If something like this were done today, it would be for the purpose of persuading the opposing side to hate, seethe, loathe and detest the person and the party that the impressionist was portraying. Not as an end in itself ---- but for the purpose of influencing/meddling with the outcome of an election. How I miss the days when entertainment was for the sole purpose of entertainment (and nothing more). Nowadays, I'm pretty cynical, pessimistic and overtly suspicious (the present state of the world has a tendency to develop such outcomes). But, against all odds, I hope for a day when the world (entertainment and otherwise) returns to a time like what we saw in this video. I was 11 or 12 at the time this video was first seen. I'm here to tell you that it was a simpler, much more joyous time. How I long for those days. Ahhh, the good ole days, right? If I'd have known that they were the good ole days--- I would've cherished them much more. But, alas: they're gone. Long gone. So often we flippantly disregard the moment (to hurry on through to the future). Then, when we get to the future, we fondly look back at the past, thus longing for what we couldn't wait... to get past! We're such a dichotomied contradiction of ourselves. God help this world. God help us all.
Even the people who comment on Chris's youtube video uploaded far after his passing, seem to be poets as well. Chris changed us all into better people.
Imagine being so loved that even the seat of government invites you into their chambers to do an impersonation of one of their senior members. RIP Chris.
Bush did the same thing with Dana Carvey, inviting him to the White House and other functions. Back then SNL and Late Night TV were careful to appeal to the entire country and not insult anyone's point-of-view. Now the late night shows have made a conscious decision to try to appeal to bitter Democrats who just want to see their opposition insulted, because the shows are no longer funny enough to attract an audience based on good comedy.
It is all just for optics. This is no different than poke-go-to-the-polls or whatever other cringe they come up with. You just give Farley a pass because the guy is a legend. I'll clap for Farley, but everyone else in that room can burn in hell as far as I'm concerned.
The motion HR:832 to keep reporters away from his mother is what did me in lol One and only chance in history to be able to do this, and Chris of course delivered.
I feel like this was one of the few times in US History where something this goofy could happen and still be taken well. The 90's were, comparably, such a laid-back decade politically compared to the decades that came before and after.
It doesn’t have anything to with emotions. It has to do with when a party drifts away from US Constitutional standards and moves toward authoritarianism. Seriously, that is what is happening since 2016. it’s all fun and games when the basis of argument is based in our American basis of government. Departure from that and we’re gonna fucking kill Nazis.
There is none of that in gingrich. He was the same evil a-hole as he is today. Crooks like him, basically the entire GQP just stopped pretending to be decent human beings at times.
@@truckerdude9172 Amen. Just like you can't wake up the day after the election has passed and go to your local elections office and vote in that election, yet you can do exactly that with a mail in ballot. Go figure.
@@jmkpns its a fraud..the DUMS knew they were gonna lose so they decided to cheat and now we have all these lawsuits going on..and Biden wants to preach democracy they all need a good ass whoppin and thrown out on their heads which I guess means they would land on their asses but anyway TRUMP 2020
It's hard to believe that there was a time when politicians didn't take themselves so seriously and not everything was "optics" and competing over who was the most offended.
@@alexioschaffan Or more like calling out the nostalgia cult who can't watch a video that pre-dates the 21st Century without lamenting the days of yore when heaven came to earth and humans and doves flew side by side in perfect harmony. Pretty sure in 1995 people were probably bitching about taxes and the ozone layer, recollecting a happier, simpler time in the 1960s when 'ozone' was the name of the local burger barn, that's since been offshored to China : ( And in the 1960s, perhaps in the middle of a violent civil rights riot, the 1930s seemed like an idyllic golden age, when everything was ridiculously cheap and no one had to work (even if they wanted to). There will always be people who think that an arbitrary date in the past was some sweet spot of human existence. Most of the time I just laugh; once in a while I call it out.
@Shipbuilding Expert that is by far be the worst possible thing that can happen in 2020!! Actually you know what, scratch that, that's the worst possible thing that could happen in the history of America. Joe Biden getting elected would be the downfall of this country and that's why I voted for the first time ever in my life. Trump HAS to win or we're doomed
We had it so good back in these days. Who would have imagined we would be so backwards in such a short amount of time. I will forever miss Chris Farley.
@D Laza Where as Obama played right along with his anger translator. And then the failed dunking of a cookie into a glass of milk: "Thanks, Obama" All of them are terrible people who didn't do enough to curb corporate interests but it's extremely telling when someone can't handle any joke at any level. Punching up particularly.
@@SwimminWitDaFishies also after you get mad from reading my comment plz don't take it out on someone else in person. instead maybe go to a therapist so you can realize how ridiculous you are acting.
These delusional comments are so sad. Open admissions of ignorance that only say "Iraq is my fault". Now be sure to whine back that I'm oppressing you!
I think 49% of Congress would walk out in anger. Can you imagine a S&L comedian making a joke about Democrats? Would never happen. Farley would be let go and NBC would be cancelled.
You ever notice the 'pattern'? These cheerleaders can only take so much before they collapse upon themselves, exhausted. RIP Farley, RIP Williams. The rest of us? Do better. Smile more. Love more. Laugh way fucking more.
Chris was amazing and clearly a one-of-a-kind talent. This is a historic snapshot of 1990's U.S. politics, culture and Americana. I don't think Chris knew the impact he had.
I remember growing up and believing that our political system was fairly balanced and rational. It might not have been the entire truth, but videos like this remind me that once upon a time there was a sense of civility between right and left. Even if it wasn't everywhere, and even if it was temporary, it still existed.
Chris Farley...Class act...Funny...Humble...Real. He is greatly missed. Gets a promo in for "Tommy Boy". We need his sense of humor today. He is missed!
Chris’s commentary made more sense than any one of todays congressional speeches. Which only goes to show that congress is nothing more than a political side-show…between the house, the senate and the oval office we have a three-ring circus.
Chris Farley and David Spade were just comic gold, plain and simple! Loved them both in 'Tommy Boy' and the political-based 'Black Sheep'.....they just don't make comedy the way they used to be snd sadly may never do again. RIP Chris 😪😪😪😪
OrangeabdBlack, Quit your frickin tittin and grow a set of fangs. You might want to add a little honesty as well. How anyone can observe the lefts policies right now and only speak of the right is beyond me. You must really hate the very overwhelmingly majority of the military as well. Since we are so very against and for the first time, extremely unsatisfied with the current commander in chief.
Yes, this really gave me a new perspective of how less-divided and more United we were then. I was 15 then and didn’t know this happened until now :). Social media is truly a blessing & a curse lol
This was back when our country had an actual sense of humor
When we knew when to debate and when we knew how to put it aside and be humans again. What a time. Hope someday in my lifetime we can get back to that mindset or at least close.

Even the people who comment on Chris's youtube video uploaded far after his passing, seem to be poets as well. Chris changed us all into better people.
He was very special.
Wow, I didn't even realize it was nearly a 9 minute long video until reading this comment. The world lost Farley far too soon
Imagine being so loved that even the seat of government invites you into their chambers to do an impersonation of one of their senior members. RIP Chris.
Bush did the same thing with Dana Carvey, inviting him to the White House and other functions. Back then SNL and Late Night TV were careful to appeal to the entire country and not insult anyone's point-of-view. Now the late night shows have made a conscious decision to try to appeal to bitter Democrats who just want to see their opposition insulted, because the shows are no longer funny enough to attract an audience based on good comedy.
@@jedijones Wow man, you really are disillusioned.
@@j_m_b_1914 that's why he has 6 likes and you have none?
@@j_m_b_1914 obviously the only one disillusioned is you.
It is all just for optics. This is no different than poke-go-to-the-polls or whatever other cringe they come up with. You just give Farley a pass because the guy is a legend. I'll clap for Farley, but everyone else in that room can burn in hell as far as I'm concerned.
Farley was a riot! Didn't need no script just pure comedy talent!
Can you imagine how much of an honor it would be to have Chris Farley do an impression of you?!?
Chris was and still is a national treasure.
@@user-vy4xx2qp3dhe’s still worth more than you lol
"new hit movie Tommy Boy" God he wasn't joking.
RIP Legend
Him and John Belushi 😢😢
ironic how the movie portrays what the democrats dis to the 2020 election. remember all the dead people voting?
The motion HR:832 to keep reporters away from his mother is what did me in lol
One and only chance in history to be able to do this, and Chris of course delivered.
I feel like this was one of the few times in US History where something this goofy could happen and still be taken well. The 90's were, comparably, such a laid-back decade politically compared to the decades that came before and after.
This is what it looks like when you leave emotions out of politics. You’re able to laugh at yourself, which is called “HUMILITY”.
It doesn’t have anything to with emotions. It has to do with when a party drifts away from US Constitutional standards and moves toward authoritarianism. Seriously, that is what is happening since 2016.
it’s all fun and games when the basis of argument is based in our American basis of government.
Departure from that and we’re gonna fucking kill Nazis.
@@phdt12 this has been going on for over 50 years if you think only 4 years your wrong
There is none of that in gingrich. He was the same evil a-hole as he is today. Crooks like him, basically the entire GQP just stopped pretending to be decent human beings at times.
Exactly - the garbage Demonrats who regularly peddle racism and love to cancel their opposition need to learn from this.
Right, Newt Gingrich is renowned for his humility
I’m here the day before the 2020 election thinking: that was nice. Can we have that back please.
Sadly no liberals destroyed it with their cancel culture BS
@@truckerdude9172 Amen. Just like you can't wake up the day after the election has passed and go to your local elections office and vote in that election, yet you can do exactly that with a mail in ballot. Go figure.
@@jmkpns its a fraud..the DUMS knew they were gonna lose so they decided to cheat and now we have all these lawsuits going on..and Biden wants to preach democracy they all need a good ass whoppin and thrown out on their heads which I guess means they would land on their asses but anyway TRUMP 2020
you mean when all the lies and corruption had yet to be exposed?
@Bob Smith and half the country is too Fing dumb/mindless/clueless/self absorbed to realize it. SMH
This is great. I hadn't seen this one before. Could you imagine that happening today? Whoa...
You would never see anything like this today in politics, rip to Chris
It's hard to believe that there was a time when politicians didn't take themselves so seriously and not everything was "optics" and competing over who was the most offended.
Why, because you saw 8 mins of their lives in 1995? lol, please.
@@alexioschaffan Or more like calling out the nostalgia cult who can't watch a video that pre-dates the 21st Century without lamenting the days of yore when heaven came to earth and humans and doves flew side by side in perfect harmony. Pretty sure in 1995 people were probably bitching about taxes and the ozone layer, recollecting a happier, simpler time in the 1960s when 'ozone' was the name of the local burger barn, that's since been offshored to China : ( And in the 1960s, perhaps in the middle of a violent civil rights riot, the 1930s seemed like an idyllic golden age, when everything was ridiculously cheap and no one had to work (even if they wanted to).
There will always be people who think that an arbitrary date in the past was some sweet spot of human existence. Most of the time I just laugh; once in a while I call it out.
@@themaskedman221 Your relatives probably avoid you like the plague! 😂
@@splenderella9 I'm telling you..
It actually was a bit different back then. No phone cameras and social media.
Chris Farley: A true comedic gem.
So few in show business have been so loved. I just wish we could have given as much to him as he gave us.
Wow John Boehner speaking and he's not crying his eyes out.
That is an AMERICA that we'll never see again.
😩
@Shipbuilding Expert that is by far be the worst possible thing that can happen in 2020!! Actually you know what, scratch that, that's the worst possible thing that could happen in the history of America. Joe Biden getting elected would be the downfall of this country and that's why I voted for the first time ever in my life. Trump HAS to win or we're doomed
We can bring it back- just not Farley
@@jonmunday8963 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm still waiting on all the Hollywood libs that said they'd leave the country (in16 if TRUMP won) to go...go...go...go away
We had it so good back in these days. Who would have imagined we would be so backwards in such a short amount of time. I will forever miss Chris Farley.
I hope everyone had an uncontrollable smile when Chris walked in like I did. What a great guy.
Chris Farley, one of the greatest physical comedians. So sad when he passed. RIP.
This was when Americans loved their country.
That hurts to read, you are probably right. Just so damn sad.
yeah, just like MAGgAts and Proud Boys love their country.
@@equin0xia Continue with your agenda of lies hate and ignorance. It suits you! Especially the ignorance part!
Before Barry Hussein tore the country apart
@@TheNathanSystem They don't realize how good they have it.
Back in the days when people could actually take a joke about themselves.
Pretty cool, isn’t it?
RIP Chris Farley and Sonny Bono.
Pretty much everyone still can except for leftists.
@@martinel2450 I feel like most moderates can for sure. People on the extreme right and extreme left all take themselves way too seriously.
@D Laza Where as Obama played right along with his anger translator. And then the failed dunking of a cookie into a glass of milk: "Thanks, Obama"
All of them are terrible people who didn't do enough to curb corporate interests but it's extremely telling when someone can't handle any joke at any level. Punching up particularly.
@D Laza Don’t forget he was trying to get the DOJ to open an investigation into Saturday Night Live because they made fun of him.
I had forgotten about this. Oh my what an ovation for Chris. What a great world we live in to be exposed to this Grace. ❤️❤️
I wish I could have met Chris.. he was a pure soul and one of the funniest people to ever do it.
Everything Chris Farley does makes you smile, if not heartily laugh.
The only one better was Belushi.
This is probably the best thing your taxes ever paid for
I love this comment so much.
Personally am a fan of a 20 year war
I absolutely loved this! Hahaha. We need more of this today!
Chris was my favorite republican.
This was back when it was ok for people to laugh. I miss Farley, and I miss the good ol days.
I laugh all the time. Especially at snowflake comments like yours 😂
@@jdee0 You have NO idea and NEVER will understand what it was like back then. Are you out of diapers yet, or do you just wear PullUps during the day?
@@SwimminWitDaFishies I do. And I wish every day I could go back. Even though we had a scum bag president.
@@SwimminWitDaFishies nice try but I'm in my 30s, snowflake. your rage towards me made for an excellent laugh tho--thanks!
@@SwimminWitDaFishies also after you get mad from reading my comment plz don't take it out on someone else in person. instead maybe go to a therapist so you can realize how ridiculous you are acting.
Chris Farley was hilarious, his energy was over the top.
I knew the comments would say its the drugs but actually he was naturally like this he didn't need the drugs but sadly he did them way to much
He and Spade were unstoppable in the early 90s.
It was the Cocaine man lol fr tho
Truly a gifted comedian and all around great guy. We need his comedy in this day and age.
I can watch this over and over and not get tired of it.
There’s a guy who just wanted to make people laugh, be kind & have people be kind back to him. Tragic to lose a person that had a good, pure heart.
His heart was so pure he chose to escape reality through drugs to the point of death.
These delusional comments are so sad. Open admissions of ignorance that only say "Iraq is my fault". Now be sure to whine back that I'm oppressing you!
It's a goddamned crime Chris Farley is gone, and Newt Gingrich still walks the Earth spreading lies and evil...
Happens to a lot of good ppl. Statement is judgemental af.
@@hfarthingtwell isn’t that a cunty thing to say
If this happened today, 10% of congress would immediately tweet how offended they are
I think 49% of Congress would walk out in anger. Can you imagine a S&L comedian making a joke about Democrats? Would never happen. Farley would be let go and NBC would be cancelled.
@@rt-uh6mtthink again
Including a certain former president who can’t take a joke
All democrats
@@realdonaldtrump4610 ok little man. Go take a nap
What a gift, to walk into a room and bring such joy to people in 120 seconds of entertaining. Beautiful!
Chris was so AWESOME!!! One of a kind for sure. Heaven hasnt stopped laughing since he came home. ❤
Chris Farley was a National Treasure, brought millions together in laughter, One of my all time favs, RIP 🙏 CHRIS FARLEY !!!
Miss him and phil hartman!!! Legends
Yes dude he is amazing and he still makes me laugh even after hes passed
You ever notice the 'pattern'? These cheerleaders can only take so much before they collapse upon themselves, exhausted. RIP Farley, RIP Williams. The rest of us? Do better. Smile more. Love more. Laugh way fucking more.
Too bad he's not here to watch his performance or movies
No meter exists that could even begin to gauge Chris Farley's total awesomeness for doing this.
Back when the country was United. Instead of so separated.
I miss Farley so much truely one of the greatest.
The good old days. Chris Farley really funny guy. Missed him a lot.
Fun political throwback. Miss Chris Farley and Sonny Bono.
I know...I greatly miss Farley and Phil Hartman.
What a legend rip chris farley. 😔 Fuck i shed a tear writing this.
Chris Farley was a true treasure!
Chris was amazing and clearly a one-of-a-kind talent. This is a historic snapshot of 1990's U.S. politics, culture and Americana. I don't think Chris knew the impact he had.
I remember growing up and believing that our political system was fairly balanced and rational. It might not have been the entire truth, but videos like this remind me that once upon a time there was a sense of civility between right and left. Even if it wasn't everywhere, and even if it was temporary, it still existed.
Chris Farley...Class act...Funny...Humble...Real. He is greatly missed. Gets a promo in for "Tommy Boy". We need his sense of humor today. He is missed!
@J Medrano I heard Columbians really loved him.
This is absolutely riveting by Chris .
I love it when he says how our wife.
Chris’s commentary made more sense than any one of todays congressional speeches. Which only goes to show that congress is nothing more than a political side-show…between the house, the senate and the oval office we have a three-ring circus.
never ever get tired of watching this
You can see Sonny Bono seating and laughing among the representatives. R.I.P., Sonny and Chris Farley, wonderful entertainers.
I'm 52 now and I truly miss these days. When comedians were funny, light hearted and not filled with hatred. RIP Chris, you are missed.
Chris Farley and David Spade were just comic gold, plain and simple! Loved them both in 'Tommy Boy' and the political-based 'Black Sheep'.....they just don't make comedy the way they used to be snd sadly may never do again.
RIP Chris 😪😪😪😪
the raw comedic guts and power it took to just stride into the room and take over will never not be spectacular.
Farley's laugh is beautiful
He was such a great comedic genius. It’s too bad he didn’t see how much he was appreciated and loved.
I love how Newt just takes a seat and is cracking up the entire time.
Yep. Great sport.
Those 80s/90s Republicans were not the enemy of the people like they are now.
@@thomasaghotmail Yes, they were. You have a short memory. Gingrich was the architect of the hell we live in now.
@@thomasaghotmail they started the war on drugs.
OrangeabdBlack, Quit your frickin tittin and grow a set of fangs. You might want to add a little honesty as well. How anyone can observe the lefts policies right now and only speak of the right is beyond me. You must really hate the very overwhelmingly majority of the military as well. Since we are so very against and for the first time, extremely unsatisfied with the current commander in chief.
Timeless comedy; oh, how far we've fallen since these days :(
And we thought we were divided THEN. Farley. Look at the joy in this room. You brought joy to this world. Rest in Peace Chris.
Yes, this really gave me a new perspective of how less-divided and more United we were then. I was 15 then and didn’t know this happened until now :). Social media is truly a blessing & a curse lol
