Coolfer's reminder that the new Belle and Sebastian album, Dear Catastrophe Waitress, has a song called "Piazza, New Yorker Catcher," means the twee songsters have gone jock. A little. But the song won't be played on the PA system at Shea anytime soon, since the lyrics include the line "Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?."
Another famous person immortalized in a B&S song: Record producer Seymour Stein (who founded Sire Records, signed Madonna), in "Seymour Stein."
The excellent Belle & Sebastian album cover spoofs.

another lyric from that song are:
"How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?"

They were kind of Jock-ish way back when. The first song on their '96 album "If You're Feeling Sinister" is "The Stars of Track and Field"
Haven't heard the B&S Seymour Stein track but it can't be as good as Spoon's swipe at their old Elektra A&R man Ron Laffitte, "The Agony of Laffitte "
Best.
That's been the brilliant thing all along about Mike Piazza being gay. He's a catcher for christsakes!!!
I like Spoon, but I've heard multiple accounts of what's his face from Spoon, Britt Daniel, sticking his tongue down the throats of girls from the audience, without their okay, in front of their boyfriends, so I'm a little wary of them.
As you know I worship Spoon (tongue jamming incidents aside - hey sounds a bit like DJ) but I just wanted to say that Mike Piazza is totally gay and it would be refreshing if he just came out with it.
Maybe they won't play it at Shea, but they just might play it elsewhere when Mike comes to bat.
I remember a Blue Jays game when the PA guys shook up Dave Stewart by playing "Lucille." It was to remind him of the time he was picked up by the police while in flagrante with a prostitute. While in custody, Dave "was shocked to learn" that the woman was actually a guy, a la Eddie Murphy.
This was before Dave pitched for the Jays, of course.
And not as famous, but the song "Chickfactor" is about Gail O'Hara, found/editor of the zine Chickfactor.
Where have all the flowers gone?
