Those would be the Philadelphia Atoms, Fury, or Fever. You're in the ballpark though...
Man, hadn't thought of those teams in years.

Ya know... I always took it at face value and assumed it was the declaration of independence -- it came out right before the bicentenial and all that...
I guess now you're going to tell us some wild story???

Yeah, but in that era was also "You're in My Heart" by Rod Stewart, which was about a soccer team, too -- at least I think, maybe that's another urban legend thing -- so knowing EJ was a big soccer and/or rugby (and why not cricket while I'm a it?) fan....well, that was my rationale. (Quieting down, ready to hear the wild story.) |

I never was a very big Elton John fan, but he had some good songs. For fans, I guess that would be an understatement.
Anyway, find myself longing for back albums of Emmylou Harris these days, picking up Bluebird and now Heartaches and Highways.

Can't blame Ajab for sticking with the family, but maybe he's also working on the Ron Paul campaign. forgive me; couldn't resist this. http://www.lewrockwell.com/thornton/thornton35.html |

Well, unfortunately it's not a terribly crazy story, but at the time Billie Jean King owned a World Team Tennis team called the Philadelphia Freedoms, and she and Elton were friends. Hence the song.

On the topic of Emmylou Harris two of my faves of hers are Cowgirls Prayer and Live at the Ryman. I am not a religious person at all but her rendition of Tommorow in Jerusalem on the first album gives me the goosebumps.
Right now listening to a great set of Dylan covers by the estimable Tim O'Brien. I am sure others might beg to differ but I prefer his versions to the orginals, but that is quirky ol me.

I too love that Jerusalem song, even though you know what's coming. Those two cds are two of my favorites. Another one is Bluebird, with a wonderful version of Hiatt's Icy Blue Heart.

If anyone's around and is not listening already, PBS is doing a program of Sting doing Dowland's Music on the Lute and from his song-book.
Started at 9:00p.m.
