...while some of us get 1/15th of a second (and quite frankly, that's more enough). At least that's about as long as it seemed I was slightly visible in the "Who Says You Can't Go Home" video (see an earlier post about attending the shoot and working on the Habitat for Humanity house).
Two videos were made for the song: one for a more country-sounding version featuring a duet with Jennifer Nettles. That video was the only one I saw in circulation several months, and it included about one second of footage from the part of the taping I attended. Lo and behold, though, this week I discovered the version of the video for the song with just Bon Jovi, and it included many more shots from the "block party" taping, including--much to my surprise--about a one-second scene in which I recognized myself. (And that's on a plain-old standard-definition TV; I wonder what it would be like seeing it on a clearer, bigger HD set...or perhaps I shouldn't imagine something so frightening.) Topping it off is that I'm immortalized in a music video standing next to my boss.
I may never get on a game show, but I got into a music video, for a fleeting second. Life is quite strange sometimes.
