A Grab Bag of Information
Just a few quick updates here:
As if this, my first home team baseball season couldn't get any better, there was the story of Rick Short, a modern day Crash Davis. If you don't know who Crash Davis is, then go watch Bull Durham. I had the luck to be there in person when Rick's moment happened, and it was electric. There will be a later post devoted to this.
Additionally, though it isn't home team based, we will likely be posting/ranting on the NBA finals soon. I'm going to let I-66 handle this one however, since he's more basketball savvy than I am.
Deep Cover has been removed from the blog member list at his own request. In the true spirit of sports, let's say their were "contract language" issues. Basically, Deep Cover enjoys the idea of maverick journalism, and posting while drunk. This is admittedly very amusing, but I-66 and myself are intent on keeping this blog, while not always serious, at least fact based. While Deep Cover may have been removed, the description at the top of the page will remain "three great guys..." in his honor. Additionally, we may attempt to con him into posting every once in awhile, if there is something he chooses to add.
In fact, he's already unearthed this nugget. For those of you already familiar with Live Aid, you'll recognize this. For those that aren't, Live Aid was a mid-80's super concert attempting to provide aid to famine starved African countries. Live8 is a similar concert, 20 years later, calling on the "Great 8" leaders to double their current aid output to Africa, as well as forgiving all debt. July 2nd, there will be five concerts running in London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, and here in the States, Philadelphia. The line-up in Philadelphia is as follows:
Will Smith (host)
Bon Jovi
Dave Matthews Band
Destiny's Child
Jay-Z
Kaiser Chiefs
Keith Urban
Linkin Park
Maroon 5
P Diddy
Rob Thomas
Sarah McLachlan
Stevie Wonder
Go to www.live8live.com for more details. Ticketing information is scarce, but according to Deep Cover's rumors, the concert should be free.
