Notes
“One year ago, we knocked on the door. This year, we beat on the door. Next year, we’re going to kick the son of a bitch in.”
-Bum Phillips, Head Coach of the Houston Oilers in front of a crowd of Oilers fans on January 7, 1980 after losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers two years on a row in the AFC Championship game. The next year the Oilers got knocked out in the first round.
One of the most disappointing playoff losses I’ve ever witnessed was when the New York Jets got shut out by the Miami Dolphins in the 1982 AFC Championship game. Jets quarterback Richard Todd had a horrendous game on a mud soaked field in south Florida. He threw 3 passes including a touchdown to A.J. Duhe who was on the opposing team.
Every time they went to commercial in the 4th quarter, they played Kenny Loggins’ “This Is It.” I recall watching my friend, a Jets fan, having a difficult time watching his team, and an equally difficult time putting up with the Yacht Rock.
I got a note in my fortune cookie which said, “Good luck is the result of good planning.” Excellent words of advice!
Act 1 of this show has music for a soundtrack to a movie that hasn’t been made.
Act 2 is about being a better person.

I got sideswiped in the center lane of Cottman Ave after making a left off West Laurel Ave. It was a minor fender bender.
When describing the accident to Trisha at the insurance company, she used the expression, “the suicide lane.”
Here’s how it effected me musically.
