RANDOM THOUGHTS
The in-flight feature was “Miracle.” The movie about the 1980 U.S. Hockey Team that beat the USSR to win the gold medal got me thinking about how different the “War on Terror” is from the “Cold War.”
Then the enemy was a player on the world stage, we could look their leaders in the eye, they could bang their shoes on our tables, and once every four years we could kick each other’s ass in sport.
Those were the days.
Also, why don’t new rappers re-rap any of the Old School rhymes? Like Mase could do a little “Children’s Story or Mona Lisa,” or Eminem can rerap “Ghetto Bastard.”
That would be neat.

What made Miracle such a great movie is that we often didn’t kick their asses in sport. Their loose definition of “amateur” and pioneering work in the field of nutritional supplements frequently put them over the top in many non-basketball sports.
Eminem redoing “Ghetto Bastard” would be cool. I wonder if the Erick Sermon/Keith Murray/someone I forget remake of “Rappers Delight” turned people off that. But it could work - my requests:
Eve - “Ladies’ First”
Nas - “Love’s Gonna Getcha”
DMX - “Parents Just Don’t Understand”

I love Ghetto Bastard. My siblings even had a dance made up to it. That would be so awesome if we could resurrect our old moves.

I’d put the New York Yankees up against the Taliban Terrorizers or the Al Qaeda Animals any day.

Black Star re-did Children’s Story. It was pretty cool.
