TVD’s The Idelic Hour with Jon Sidel

Greetings from Laurel Canyon!

Could I write a requiem for you when you’re dead? / “She had the moves, she had the speed, it went to her head” / She never needed anyone to get her round the track / But when she’s on her back / She had the knowledge / To get her into college / But when she’s on her back / She had the knowledge / To get her what she wanted

The stars of track and field, you are / The stars of track and field, you are / The stars of track and field are beautiful people.

Best to my British friends on tomorrow’s soccer match. I had recorded the game the other day and watched in bed after a long day of music business hustle. As my wife and kitty softly crashed, I laid back and watched the English football team hang on to a 1-1 tie.

Even though this game had been played hours prior, I tapped into the feeling of British origins of hope and suspense. In a small way I was walking a tightrope between glory and gloom.

Eighty minutes into the match, coach Gareth Southgate took a leap of faith and subbed a young player for team captain and “futbol” legend Harry Kane. As the game approached its climax, I found myself reflecting on the unpredictability of sports, much like the thrill of non Gamstop casinos UK, where the unexpected can happen at any moment. At ninety minutes, Ollie Watkins became a legend! It’s only soccer, but it’s nice to know a prevailing wind can change.

Have a great weekend and Happy Friday!
