Actually he was on a picnic with Ivan Yakinoff.

MMM is a cool dude, folks.
I'd rather he sang Geronimo's Cadillac, though.

MMM might be the cat's meow, but I don't go to a Cyndi Lauper concert to see a ping pong tournament.

I have no idea what that means but it made me laugh when I read it.

this is the history of the song "Wildfire" a hit in its time.

The dislike of the song by some on this board is probably for the most part generational except to the extent it is driven by the horse controversy. I like MMM and Wildfire as do most of my friends. The roots of this song are a Mystic Horse. a Mustang!

But in the song, its a pony she named Wildfire.

Whatever, we can ask MMM but I guarantee he did not have a shetland pony in mind when he wrote the song.

[jtstang]

In that case he did not have the SMU mascot in mind then. Peruna is THE mascot now and forever.

Of course, as asinine as this decision is, it has already been made and I cannot do a damn thing about it. I am resigned to having the goofy rider mascot come in and take away from the traditional game atmosphere. As should we all be.

But now you can .... do something like that .... sort of.

MMM put on a great show several years back at the beautifully restored circa. 1900 Kidd-Key Auditorium in Sherman, Texas. One of the best shows I've ever seen. (And I've seen Black Sabbath.)

MMM is a good entertainer but I am not sure he is going to fire up the crowd at Ford.

GO PONIES!!!

[NastyStang]

This is the worst idea ever!! We don't need some 70's songwriter retread to sing at a football game! WTF!!? Was this a package deal with the new horses? Mrs. Pickens favorite musician?

I tell you what: I'm still pissed off as hell about our beloved Peruna, but most of the quotes today are ESPN instant classics. Keep 'em coming boys.

And I bet he didn't have a couple kneeling down geldings in mind, either.

Can't wait to see what kind of piano they roll onto the field for the intro and outro.
