You ever have it where you don’t really give someone or something much thought for several years, and then it randomly comes up multiple times in the course of a week for a variety of reasons? I’m having that with John Starks right now.
Rich Aurilia wants to play in New York. That’s gotta be burning Brian Sabean up.
How this article can fail to mention Prince is beyond me. I know it’s not “list of most awesome Super Bowl halftime shows, in order,” but all discussions of Super Bowl halftime shows should start and end with Prince. Prince rules.
Darryl Strawberry says the Mets need more pitching, the loss of Carlos Beltran will sting, and that he would have used steroids if they were more available when he played. Darryl Strawberry is an honest man.

Forget Prince*; what about Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man getting married at half-time of Super Bowl 16?
*I don’t really mean that about Prince. My band at the time covered Purple Rain as part of our set and I got several excited phone calls during that half-time show. It was great.
I have always had a fantasy about covering the entire Purple Rain album live. The way we’d do it was the band would play the first four songs in our own style, dressed like we normally do and everything, then we’d put the Foo Fighters’ Darling Nikki cover on the PA (because I think that’s a pretty sweet cover) and go backstage.
Then we’d come out for the second half of the album dressed exactly like Prince and the Revolution, with the blouses and ridiculous instruments and everything, and do all the songs exactly as they did, culminating in the ridiculous and triumphant Purple Rain guitar solo thing.
Of course, I’d need to have the Prince guitar to do that. And a band.
I would pay actual money to see a band that did this. I wonder what The Revolution are up to these days . . . ?
I have no idea, but several members of the New Power Generation are now playing with Nick Jonas. I don’t know if this should make me depressed, or oddly excited by the off chance that Nick Jonas might shock the crap out of everyone, shun Disney and turn out cool.
I guess I’m the only one, but Prince never really did it for me.
I’m sure he would if you asked. He seems pretty freaky.
Ted, why does John Starks keep coming up in conversation, that guy was the worst Knick ever. I knew some one that knew some one that got his pager number one time so I paged him and he called back. What a tool. Like Turk Wendall, John Starks name should never come up or resurface. Oh, by the way congrats on getting Passuccuci back or Val Venis or what ever his name is.
