That’s pretty high praise. I had both of them, and I love that sound they were going for, and wouldn’t rate them that high. But it’s all subjective. The Waterboys with him was IMO peak Waterboys.
Fiorentina's general manager Joe Barone has passed away. Aged 57 "All of Fiorentina are destroyed by the terrible loss of a man who offered his great professionalism, his heart and his passion for these colors." RIP, Joe.
When I read this, I had forgotten about the song about him. But I’m listening to Dramarama’s greatest hits record and it’s on there and I remembered

My favorite OJ moment of all time, about 1:10 into the promo. This is the debut promo for "The Gangstas" in Smoky Mountain Wrestling, the last of the southern territories where the top babyface at the time was Tracey Smothers who wore a jacket to the ring with the rebel flag on it.
Trina Perlson Robbins, 84, stroke. Seamstress to rock stars and originator of comic books with powerful female protagonists. She was a Lady of the Canyon: "Trina wears her wampum beads She fills her drawing book with line Sewing lace on widow’s weeds And filigree on leaf and vine."

One of the greats, almost certainly underrated because he managed in Missouri and not NYC or Boston or LA.
Legendary Brooklyn Dodgers Pitcher Died On Tuesday Morning BROOKLYN - 1956: Brooklyn Dodger Carl Erskine and Brooklyn Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley on May 15, 1956 at Ebbets Field.
Read about Erskine in Roger Kahn's "The Boys of Summer". Erskine was a great, great person, the best person among those 1950s Dodgers and maybe the best in all of baseball.
Yes. But please, let's not start a lobby; let's let him just be what he was-- a tremendously enjoyable player to watch, one who left a mark on his era. Let's not make him yet another notch on the inflation of the position. It is bad enough that Stabler is in, that we'll have serious arguments about Eli- let us not keep mining the past or we'll have every Clements, Shiner and Theofiledes in before ya know it...
I'll take your word- I remember watching him a bit, but I was waaay too young to know about the sport. His name stood out.
