Dreams re-entered the charts. Mick Fleetwood, Shakira, Jimmy Fallon, and even Stevie Nicks have posted remakes of his video. He’s now looking to buy a house.
In the morning Nathan made the video he was commuting from his trailer, where he’s been dealing with water and electricity outages. Then his car broke down, which forced him to hit the road on his longboard.
He arrived only a few minutes before his shift at his local potato factory was due to start. He said he considered deleting the clip and getting on with his day, especially as phones are prohibited on the factory floor. But he got it up just in time. By the end of his second break, it already had 2m views.
On one hand, you have the American dream in a 25-second clip. But on the other, a story of how precarious life can be for so many Americans, where a safety net comes in the form of being able to raise money from strangers.
