Rest in Peace, Tom Seaver
Music Monday
Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel … The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo. Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
It's sad in a way - I went to several Mets games in 1973 (including two NLCS games and one World Series) and I can't even remember if Seaver pitched in any of the games. It's so sad about Seaver and some of the other 1969/1973 players. In some ways, I guess it's good that we can't see into the future. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it’s good we can’t see into the future
DeleteI remember him with the White Sox. Great pitcher.
ReplyDeleteThere’s a reason he had such a high percentage of the vote when he was elected to the Hall of Fame. I am a Mets fan and I’ve always been a Mets fan and my memories of him ... There’s a reason he was called the franchise.
