You should stay away from football then...you obviously weren't at the UCLA 2:30 game last season. Not even close to the same conditions.

And....it works both ways. I guess you'd have to be pretty stupid, or at least gullible, to think this song could be sung by anyone other than an American black man.

Oops.

That's one reason....the main reason is the song sucked.

That was definitely when I jumped off the Styx Bandwagon, and the idea was basically stolen from Rush 2112. DeYoung took rock perfection and dumbed it down to a smarmy Broadway play.

That left field wall is hot garbage.

I tend to agree. Plus you can barely read the words "War Eagle" on it--it looks faded.

Plus the left field line (and maybe right also?) is so close to the seats the player barely has room before running into the stands.

I do like the organ though.

Refs in that game were total pussies. Knight intimidated his way to that Final 4.

I believe he kicked a chair and also slammed his fist into a phone at the scorer's table during that game. What a jerk.

re: This is one of the weakest Jazzfest lineups I have seen in quite some time

Posted by parrotdr on 3/31/25 at 1:19 pm

I go to Fest every year. I never camp out at a stage for a big name, and I really rarely care about the big names. Somebody big I really like? That's an added bonus. I bop in and out of the smaller stages. Some of my most memorable moments are at the Lagniappe Stage in the Grand Stand. I like listening to folks I've never heard of or never seen before. I enjoy the food and the people watching.

Weak lineup? Maybe so but I enjoy the 70+% of artists from Louisiana as much as any big name.

Posted by parrotdr on 3/30/25 at 12:02 am

I get the play at the plate, but yet another of many incidents of an infielder running out to the outfield to make a play and fricking up the fact that the outfielder can make the play better.

Great scene at the end where Jack Black's band, Sonic Death Monkey, becomes Barry Jive and the Uptown Five doing some Marvin Gaye.

John Cusack's intro--"I'd like to introduce the band...PLEASE DON'T LEAVE".

From Little League up to the majors, there’s nothing I hate worse than when an infielder sprints at the top of his speed to the outfield and screws up the outfielder’s chance to make the play.
