The last of the Duke Street Kings

Paul Molitor celebrates BORN TO RUN, released 40 years ago today. What do you suppose Terry Collins' favorite album is? He strikes me as a guy who knows dick about rock.

Yeah, I think he's a Perry Como kind of guy.

On the other hand, he was 18 in the Summer of Love. And he's from Midland, Michigan. He might have listened to a LOT of Amboy Dukes. But I'll go with Night Moves. To borrow from Wayne's World, in Midland, Michigan, it probably came in the mail, along with samples of laundry detergent. And as an undersized young athlete trying to hang on to his career, he was probably more of a passive listener. In 1976 (when Night Moves is released), he's 27 and in his second year of AAA with his stats dropping off alarmingly. Davey Lopes and Bill Russell are entrenched with the big club. Rafael Landestoy has passed him on the organizational depth chart despite being four years younger. Autumn is closing in.

The only thing I remember about a manager's taste in music was seeing a picture of Tony LaRussa wearing a STYX tee shirt during a ChiSox post game interview. Later

Here's Tony buddying up with Dierks Bentley.

Terry is big on Bob Marley from what I've heard.

He strikes me as somebody who listened to Night Moves or Willy and the Poor Boys, like, a few dozen times, but might get the title of a deep cut wrong.

i'm thinking he's more of a John Cale / Brian Eno / Captain Beefheart / Laurie Anderson / Phillip Glass kind of guy. Or maybe not.
