No joke, the first concert I went to in junior high with my dad and a good friend of mine (who ended up being the best man at my wedding) in the mid 90s that I got to pick instead of just going to what my parents dragged me along to was Weird Al and it was a blast!

I really do think they're going to be super proud of it someday. Probably not in high school and college. But after high school and college.

I saw Dane Iorg play many times in the late 70s or thereabouts. But I confess I don't know why he's known forever or what he has to do with your newsletter this week. It was nice to see his name after all these years, though.

It's just a naming convention. I've done Nirvana songs, Wilco songs, Woody Allen movies (oy) and now my favorite 100 Cardinals players. I interrupt with Wilco songs whenever they make a new record, but now I've done all the songs on the new album, so here we are back to the Cardinals. 81 to go!

I caught Andy Iorg, Dane's nephew, as a teen little leaguer circa 1990. Kid could deal.
