Confession: I’ve watched this video several times and it’s always been on mute. I don’t really care about the song. Macklemore isn’t my thing. A 34-year-old rapper doesn’t want to be my thing. But what he is, is a caring, sweetheart of a guy who loves his Grandma.
The video for Glorious is dedicated to his 100-year-old Grandma Helen. She knows him as her grandson Ben, who shows up to give her a birthday she’ll never forget. They do everything she wants to do and it’s clear that he adores her. In a perfect world, what kind of a guy should become wealthy and famous from rapping? A guy who still has his feet on the ground and loves his Grandma, that’s who. When I wrote this post, the video for Glorious had more than 11.5-million views and counting. Enjoy.
