Maddow: I had heard the news about how huge the rally was in Paris this weekend. I had read the reports about what it was like, there on the ground. But until I saw this, this guy turning around his own stereo speakers, to play John Lenon's Imagine, not just in his apartment, but out the window to the crowd below so they could hear it, until I saw his video of the crowd hearing him do that, I did not really understand how big it was, or anything what it was like.

Vu que personne ne pouvait avancer, ma voisine a eu l'excellente idée de sortir sa chaîne stéréo et de passer des classiques. Grand moment d'émotion et de communion, totalement improvisé.

Since no one could move, my neighbor had the excellent idea to get his stereo and switch classics. Very emotional moment and communion, completely improvised.
