Because I have, from time to time, written about the stalkertastic video for Lionel Richie's "Hello," for which I and any number of sculptors have great affection. Well, Grantland's 24-year-old Rembert Browne just watched it for the first time, and has captured his moment-by-moment observations:
He doesn't just do one or two creepy things in this video. Remember, this is Lionel Richie we're talking about. Instead, he pulls out every stop and crosses every line of teacher-student conduct that isn't a federal offense.
Nobody understands this video. Lionel Richie is a ghost who can only be heard by people who love him. Over the course of the song, he wins the blind girl over, so she goes from not being able to hear him to being able to hear him. The guy who talks to him near the end is another ghost, by the way.
