Celebrating "While You See a Chance" by Steve Winwood

A true solo work, the single and the album featured one musician - Winwood. It showcased his talents across a wide range of instruments, including keyboards, guitar, bass, and drums, while he also produced, engineered, and mixed the album.

Co-written by Will Jennings, the track's lush production and uplifting lyrics caught listeners' attention. It was Winwood's breakthrough as a solo artist and successfully introduced him to AM radio audiences.

Celebrating "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon
Released 1972
Billboard Singles Charts #1

There is a reason that "You're So Vain" has remained popular for 50+ years: it's perfect, and it's anthemic.

4/4

Jimmy Ryan's rhythm guitar and solo, Jim Gordon's drumming, and the strings, which Carly arranged, are all elements that carry and propel the song right to the musical explosion at the conclusion. And let's not forget the backup vocalists, which include an uncredited Mick Jagger.

3/4

With her literary background (her father co-founded the publishing house Simon & Schuster), Carly could turn a phrase, putting her a step ahead of the competition. I mean, who else was using the word "gavotte" in a song?

2/4

The non-baseball fans and the casual fans all came back and watched the World Series with enthusiasm. While the outcome might have been disappointing for some, it was a rare unifying moment for our country. So, thank you to the Jays. And, yes, even the Dodgers.

6/6

Personal experiences aside, even I have begrudgingly accepted this and have begun to give them their due.

On another note, over the last week, Canadians across the country became galvanized in their support of the @torontobluejays.bsky.social .

5/6

Envy has only grown among fans who watch the successes and wish their own favourite team could do the same. You can loathe the Dodgers for making the playing field unbalanced, but they have a well-run, smart organization.

4/6

- and a primary reason that baseball could be headed for a lockout.

I can't blame a player for choosing the Dodgers. The L.A. location is ideal, and the team has one goal: to win. The players know that the team will do whatever it takes to accomplish this goal.

3/6

My dislike only heightened with the infamous "Blue Monday" game against my beloved @montrealexpos.bsky.social

In recent years, I, along with many others, have become envious watching the Dodgers outbid teams for top talent. They have become, in the view of many, the new 'evil empire' -

Everyone expects something that will further boost momentum or at least maintain it. But life isn't all fairy tales and smooth sailing.

"Who Killed the Montreal Expos?"

For individuals such as myself, a singular viewing, driven by curiosity, is probably all the heart can handle.

6/6

But when a family breaks up, sometimes you never really heal.

The docu possesses significant historical value. I would recommend it to younger baseball fans interested in understanding the profound impact of "nos Amours" on the city, province, and country, when they truly were Canada's team.

5/6

On a personal level, the docu reminded me of the times I often met Gary Carter, Moises Alou, Cliff Floyd, Rondell White and other players in and around Montreal. They were part of the reason that for a time the Expos took over the Habs in my heart. They felt like family.
4/6

But the hard news drives the story. It outlines numerous potential factors contributing to the Expos' dissolution, with each party presenting their own perspective. With a lot of finger pointing.

3/6

Residing in Calgary & being away from the center of the turmoil has been beneficial, but 20 years later, the pain hasn't diminished.

The docu revived some of the happier memories: the great late 70s, early 80s successes, the euphoria of making the playoffs, and having the best team in 1994. 2/6
