I'ma rub your ass in the moonshine.

Let's take it back to seventyniiiiine. - Russell Jones, 1997

Found these pictures from Magic's rookie year. The obvious next step was to do some extensive research into music of the day.
(the day = 1979)

Best point guard in history of The Association? Debatable. Best smile in the history of The Association? COME ON NOW. Never believe it's not so! (©1974)

mp3.
















Instant Funk - “I Got My Mind Made Up.” YES x 1,000. 5 days you work, 1 whole day to play.

mp3.



Dire Straits - “Sultans of Swing.” Used to hate this song. Not no more, though I can't explain when the shift occurred. Funny how that happens sometimes.

mp3.



Chuck Brown - “Bustin' Loose.” I feel warm all over, like the temperature of the room is slowly increasing.

mp3.



Charlie Daniels, more hiphop than me since the '70s and I can hardly stand it - “The Devil Went Down to Georgia.” (Respect and thanks to the person hosting this mp3 for deciding to make it the original “son of a bitch” version instead of the ultrawack “son of a gun” one.) That Charlie - such a storyteller! This jam's the “Trapped in the Closet” of the greater Atlanta area.

mp3.




Ricky Lee Jones, “Chuck E's in Love”; Kenny Rogers, “The Gambler.” Fucking FIRE. Also, stop counting your money when you're sittin at the table! JESUS CHRIST WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU.
