First if was our French friend Alain Bernard said that the French team was going to “smash” the Americans in the 4x100 freestyle relay. Well Jason Lezak had one of the best races of all time to touch out the Bernard to win by 8-hundredths of a second. Well last night (Aug 15th U.S. time) Mr. Phelps wins his 7th gold medal of these Olympics, he touched out our Serbian friend Milorad Cavic by 1-hundredth of a second. Before that race’s final Cavic was quoted saying it would be good for Phelps to loose, and good for the sport if Phelps looses.
So what’s the moral of the story? Talk shit to the U.S. and you’ll get touched out for a Gold medal…
1 2 3 4 5. Jazz standards that I was exposed to for the first time in high school always seem shorter when I listen again years later. This one in particular makes me grasp at the air for more music. I just want to live my life within the undulations of this classic tune, is that too much to ask?!
Paul Desmond’s incredible chart and frustratingly simple alto saxophone melody will live on forever, and for any jazz newbie this is required listening.
