Marv lifted a lot of quotes from other people. He was an English major, so it's not surprising that he's well-read, but he really should have cited his sources. ?

This one has been attributed to numerous coaches, but the consensus is that Vince Lombardi was the first: "When you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before." I try to keep that in mind after any professional accomplishment. I mean, yeah, it's good to be proud of your work, but hey - that's what you get paid for.

When I was a Cub Scout, one of the scout leaders took some of us to a Braves game. They were playing the Bucks (with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and we were sitting in the front row of the upper ring (orange seats). I made a big "Two for McAdoo!" sign and hung it from the railing.

Well, the murderer is dead, so he didn't exactly come out on top.

... record of a band that plays the blues, A band that plays the blues She just loves my big ten inch Record of her favorite blues. Modern blues artists still load their songs with sexual innuendo.

Sounds of laughter, shades of life Are ringing through my open ears Inciting and inviting me Limitless, undying love Which shines around me like a million suns It calls me on and on across the universe

On a long and lonesome highway East of Omaha You can listen to the engine Moanin' out its one note song You can think about the woman Or the girl you knew the night before

I can't believe it's not ...

It's been a long time comin' It's goin' to be a long time gone And it appears to be a long night Before the dawn

A slightly more feminine version of Ann Coulter. Nnnnnope.

Put the sugar in the tank of the sheriff's car And slash the deputy's tires They won't get very far When they finally get the word that there's been a hold-up Uh huh Well, give your ID card to the border guard Now your alias says you're Captain Jean-Luc Picard Of the United Federation Of Planets 'Cause he won't speak English anyway

That's exactly the point my friend (the drummer) was making: while any competent drummer could easily replicate Ringo's licks, how many could have created them in the first place? Not many.

... Ringo Starr. While his drumming didn't stand out like that of Keith Moon or John Bonham, Ringo laid down some exceptional, yet subtle, drum licks. I have to admit that in my younger days, I thought Ringo was the luckiest drummer in the world. Then a friend of mine, who happened to be a drummer, put on a Beatles album and pointed out the intricacies of his playing style on various songs. I gained a new appreciation for the man.

Feeling's gettin' stronger Music's gettin' longer too Music is flashin' me I want to, I want to, I want to take you higher I want to take you higher Baby, baby, baby, light my fire I want to take you higher Boom shaka-laka-laka Boom shaka-laka-laka

"See that Wall of Fame? Someday, both our names will be up there." (Oops.)

It's from February, but it makes sense today, too:

Done! One more thing I like about it is that the antagonist is relatable. I find myself in agreement with the person's cause - the methods, not so much (obviously), but the cause has some validity. I like stories that have a little cognitive dissonance, where the readers recognize something of themselves in the perpetrator. Francis Ford Coppola said something like that about Vito Corleone in The Godfather.

I just read it - great job! One thing your fact-checkers missed, though: at one point, the protagonist said, "Nobody says the punter is their favorite player." C'mon, man - during the drought, a lot of people listed Moorman as their favorite player. ? But seriously, I enjoyed the book. It grabbed my interest from the start, had good dialog, some fun plot twists, and an unexpected ending.

Come down with fire Lift my spirit higher Someone's screaming my name Come and make me holy again I'm the man on the silver mountain
