Those of you who are good friends with me, know that I have been very upset by the news that the Green Bay Packers traded my boy Brett Favre to the NY Jets. I am feeling better about this today, but I gotta admit I still have mixed emotions about all of this. It has been wierd seeing footage of him wearing a Jets jersey instead of his Packer jersey. I am a Packer fan still and probably always will be, but I must admit...I am still a huge fan of Brett Favre. I still believe he is the Yoda of football. So I am enclosing this video that I found on youtube. This video is in honor of his retirement, but I feel this way even though he is out of retirement. Yes, I will wear my Brett Favre jersey till the day that I die!
While I was recovering from the shock that Brett Favre is no longer a Green Bay Packer, this cheeshead was listening to some older music.
I had recently had a discussion with my sister about folk music. My parents were fans of groups like Peter, Paul and Mary and many others. So while I hated being forced to listen to the "old people" music in my youth, as an adult I have found that I too have a soft spot for folk music.
Perhaps one of my favorites is Simon and Garfunkal. While I was surfing amazon.com, I spotted Simon and Garfunkal's CD of their concert in Central Park. That brought back fond memories of listening to that record (yes, I mean vinyl) with my Aunt Martha. So, I impulsively bought the CD and it arrived yesterday.
No matter what your age, take a listen to some of their songs...this is some good music. My personal favorites are:
1) Cecilia
2) Me and Julio down by the schoolyard
3) Mrs. Robinson
4) Kodachrome
5) Late in the evening
6) Slip Slidin Away
