Un-Phair
hit a home run, Liz
Self-proclaimed indie rocker Liz Phair (in reality, just another rich chick from the North shore with a degree from Oberlin) will apparently attempt to sing something during the 7th inning stretch of game 1 of the World Series.
I like Phair, and her come-hiter gazes, sexy soccer mom pouts, and slutty image as much as any guy. However, I'm not real sure what she does is "sing." Generally, she hides behind a wall of wailing guitars and feedback (her first two albums), or mounds of production (her last two). Something tells me she'll be crooning something other than "Hot White Cum" to the crowd at the ballpark and the millions of fans watching at home. But was that the best the Sox could do? Was Koko Taylor busy that night?
All I have to say to Phair and her phans is "babybabybabybabybabybabybabybabybaby

She's singing "God Bless America." See http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20051020&content_id=1255777&vkey=pr_cws&fext=.jsp&c_id=cws. Luis Aparicio throws out the ceremonial first pitch (OK), and Josh Groban (huh?) sings the National Anthem.
For Game 2, Bo Jackson throws out the first pitch (double huh?), and Lou Rawls sings the National Anthem (OK).
I'm watching it right now and can honestly say that I've never been quite so turned-on during a performance of this song.
I remember interviewing Ms. Phair about a decade ago, and she had the same effect on me then. /Tony M.
