Deep in CBS Minnesota's video archives lay a piece of footage that would prove to be iconic — once it was unearthed 52 years after it was filmed. In 1970, the station, WCCO, was covering the Minnesota Public School teacher strike and a reporter interviewed kids as teachers picketed. One of those kids may look familiar — because he grew up to be a music legend.

WCCO Production Manager Matt Liddy found out about the restored footage and decided to screen it. "I grew up in Minneapolis, so all I cared about was looking at cool old buildings from the place I grew up. Did I recognize my old school? Did I recognize any landmarks?" Liddy said.
