I just read about the Air France plane crash , Air France Flight 447 from Rio to Paris, and, sadly, it reminded me of this old post featuring one of my favorite jams from ‘08, Air France’s “Collapsing At Your Doorstep”.
The New Yorker published a recent essay by Malcolm Gladwell, titled Annals of Innovation: How David Beats Goliath, in which he argues that Davids actually win when they realize their weakness and challenge the convention, and conventional wisdom: What happened, Arreguín-Toft wondered, when the underdogs likewise acknowledged their weakness and chose an unconventional strategy? He went back and re-analyzed his data. In those cases, David’s winning percentage went from 28.5 to 63.6. When underdogs choose not to play by Goliath’s rules, they win, Arreguín-Toft concluded, “even when everything we think we know about power says they shouldn’t.” It’s a really great read, particularly for fans of hoops, and more specifically college hoops (and Rick Pitino-coached, full-court-pressin’ college hoops at that), but casual hoops fan or not, give it a read.
Kid Robot is slinging this amazing Beatles limited edition set made by Abs Plastic and created when “Medicom teamed up with Silly Things to create these beautiful blue versions of Paul, John, Ringo and George.” The set of four figurines, each 27 inches in height, is retailing for $2,500.00.
Like Tommy James and the Shondells’ “Crimson & Clover”, Ritchie Valens’ “La Bamba” and the Beach Boys’ “Sloop John B,” “Louie Louie” is one of my very favorite songs of all time - I can listen to it and listen to it and listen to it. I was able to track down twenty-one versions of “Louie Louie”. ENJOY.
