Thanks to some semi-transparent Lite-Brite black-sheets, well over a million Lite-Brite pegs and the 80+ person crew who spent some 2,000+ hours pegging out stops for the motion on the David Crowder Band's new video, "SMS (Shine)," we can enjoy the colors without the addiction, the tax or the shame of being a toking Giant's Fan in San Fran.
