Oh my dear, Heaven is a big band now!

This Weekend's Wildcard is The Sky is a Neighborhood by the Foo Fighters off of their new album Concrete and Gold. Dave got the inspiration for this song from Neil DeGrasse Tyson's response to the question "What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the universe?" He said that the atoms that make up our bodies and everything on earth are traceable back to the beginnings of the universe. See the video below.

Dave also directed this video and his two daughters, Violet and Harper, are the two girls in the video.
