57 - Truth or Consequence, Say it Aloud

This song always makes me think of football.  And football (in America) is primarily played in Autumn.  Now, I'm not a huge football fan.  I don't dislike it, but I'm not the guy who gets stoked to go watch the game.  My brothers can get into that.

But this makes me think of football because of a movie that it was used in.  Now, I did know the song before the movie, so there is that.  Because this movie isn't the best.  Meaning, it's an okay story with moderate acting.

I'm talking about that classic 90's high school football flick, Varsity Blues.  The song?

Song 57

        "My Hero" from the album The Colour and the Shape by Foo Fighters


I'd be lying if I said this song isn't what made me like this movie even at all.  But for some reason it kinda makes up for the rest that is lacking.  Yeah, I like this song that much.

So, today's song is brought to you by a sport I'm not over into, from a movie I only kinda like.

But this song is great for Fall.  And Foo Fighters are great any time.  But just imagine this song to those Sports illustrated highlight videos they used to do.  I dunno, maybe they did one with this song too.

I will say this, athletes aren't my heroes.  I have a few of those.  One in particular is a fellow named Jim Elliot.  Look him up his story is amazing.  Especially...well.  Look his wife up too.


Alright.  That's it for today.

grace, peace + hope
