Sports and music always blended well to me. As a young guy, a great Saturday started with a morning trip to Tower Records and then heading home to hear Keith Jackson uniquely describe an afternoon of college football.
I was a major Tower Records head, circa 1988 to 2006. For me and probably millions of others, Tower's Pulse Magazine's interviews, articles, album reviews, and readers' submitted Desert Island Discs were a pre-internet education that will last a lifetime.
