WHEN THE EVERLY BROTHERS TRUMPED YANKEES-SOX

It was October the 16^th, 2003 and we were going to see Simon and Garfunkel. The tickets were pricey, the venue would be packed but the duos formerly known as Tom and Jerry were legends. If you were going to go to a concert and pay big bucks, you went to see legends. That same night the Yankees and Red Sox were facing off in the American League Championship Series. The teams were tied 3-3 and this game was being hyped all over the east coast.

Many baseball fans that night were hoping to get home in time to see the last few innings. When the concert started, there was a bit of a rumble. No Simon and Garfunkel yet. A warm up band most likely. Then the rumble turned into a roar when the crowd at The Arena,   when everyone realized that Phil and Don Everly were the first act, the crowd went nuts. Phil and Don’s music inspired many great rock and popular music entities like Simon n Garfkunkel.

Paul and Art were one thing but having the Everly  Brothers open up, well it made most of us forget about Aaron ****ing Boone and his winning home run  that night to keep the Red Sox cooling their jets until 2004.
