Hey Jude: Live in Newark
by Mike Krumboltz
Roughly 99.9% of the time, airport delays are completely unremarkable. And that's a good thing. But every so often something kind of cool happens while delayed passengers play with their Blackberries and grumble about missed connections.
Such was the case this past weekend, when a singer took it upon himself to lead some stranded passengers in a group sing-a-long of "Hey Jude" by The Beatles. When the Newark airport terminal went on security lockdown and nobody was allowed to leave, Josh Wilson grabbed his guitar, got his fellow passengers to act as his backup singers, and took a sad situation and, well, made it better.
The video is quickly going viral, and you can check it out below. The clip starts out nicely and then gets better. Better, better, better, better, yeah! Everybody, now!
