A Friend, A Song and Fabulous Football

While watching the Falcons/Saints footbal game this afternoon - Geaux Saints – a video was brought to my attention by a friend…New Noise, by Refused, a late 90’s punk song I had completely forgotten about.

I listened to the lyrics…

Great words won't cover ugly actions.
Good frames won't save bad paintings.
We lack the motion to move to the new beat.

We lack motion.

How can we expect anyone to listen if we're using the same old voice?
We need new noise.
New art for the real people.

Reflecting, I thought, “My hometown's professional sport collective is engaged in another ground acquistion contest. Their acts of focused and deliberate maneuvers ensure a glorious triumph.” Victory prevailed and the Saints are 13-0.

No lack of motion and definitely not the same voice, as the Saints are “the noise” and Drew Brees’ skills are “ the art” which have boosted the morale of a city that is still in recovery from the devastation of 2005’s Hurricane Katrina.

The Fates are smiling, the Saints are winning - the thirteenth game, played on the thirteenth day, at the thirteenth hour…victory and 13-0 – hence, fabulous football played.
