I am a Mainer transplanted in Virginia but remain a hard-core Boston sports fan, particularly as concerns the Red Sox. I'm old enough to remember the 1967 Impossible Dream season, which cemented my love for the Sox for life. By profession I am an IT manager, which I love but at the end of the day I'm a bit of a writer and musician trapped in a technologist's body. As I have aged I can clearly see the nexus of music and sports. Great musicians have athletic stamina and incredible drive while top athletes can bring a crowd to both full throat and then sublime appreciation as if the crowd were listening to a moving musical piece. Athlete as rock star. Musician as a rigorously trained galvanizing force and cultural hero. Close your eyes and the two are nearly interchangeable. Sox on! Rock on!Twitter: @petersonstephen
