Wilco - “Meant to Be” Official Music Video

“Wilco have released a new video for “Meant To Be,” highlighting a special corner of old Chicago. The video was filmed at the legendary southside Chicago roller skating venue, The Rink, one of the birthplaces of “JB Skating.” Started in the early ’70s, “JB Skating” is a smooth and laid back style of dance/skating often done in synchronized groups, and frequently to the music of James Brown (thus “JB”). Featuring a dozen local skaters including Calvin Small, an originator of the form, and Darius Sanders, the #1 ranked roller skater in the U.S, the video shows skaters flowing to the music and sync skating amid the multicolored light reflections of The Rink’s disco ball, while Wilco performs at the center. What starts off as two separate scenes transforms as the lively song progresses revealing the two worlds have merged into one.” - Northern Transmissions
