Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so inviting?
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-nighting
Glittering crowds
And shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel
They’re making me feel
I’m home… from the song “Autumn in New York” by Vernon Duke in 1934 (my favorite version is linked below)
I honestly don’t know if there’s a better lyric to describe this trip to New York. The fall temps, the ombre leaves on the trees, the gentle insanely powerful wind blowing through the buildings and MetLife stadium, and of course, the sounds of car horns, people yelling to go %#^ themselves, and Rocky Top! Yep, you heard me, Rocky Top.
From watching the Tennessee/Bama game at Printer’s Alley, the Tennessee bar on 40th Street, to finally going to The Meadowlands aka MetLife, it was the trip I’ve always dreamed of.
For the podcast, after I finish geeking out over NYC, I talk about the utter sh*t show that Michigan’s football program is, how the NBA may be taking a hard stance in the opening week about player availability for nationally televised games and a special Don’t Flinch in memory of Tasha Butts.
