I'm sure these same people WOULD LOVE to hear some heralded analyst like Billy Packer. LSU dribbles, shhots a 3, clank. SF dribbles, shoots a 3, clank. BTW, have I mentioned Duke yet?

Reading the lyrics to dignity and I am just not seeing a Maravich connection

I don't believe a word of it. Look at the lyrics of "Dignity" and explain what that has to do with Pete.

I dont think the lyrics are about Pistol Pete.... Just think Walton meant Dylan watched Pistol play basketball and thought he had dignity??

Bob Dylan discusses in his memoir that he wrote the lyrics upon learning of Pete Maravich's death. You can Google this. I do agree the lyrics do not seem to relate to Maravich.

Heres the except from Dylans book:
quote:
My aunt was in the kitchen and I sat down with her to talk and drink coffee. The radio was playing and morning news was on. I was startled to hear that Pete Maravich, the basketball player, had collapsed on a basketball court in Pasadena, just fell over and never got up. I’d seen Maravich play in New Orleans once, when the Utah Jazz were the New Orleans Jazz. He was something to see — mop of brown hair, floppy socks — the holy terror of the basketball world — high flyin’ — magician of the court. The night I saw him he dribbled the ball with his head, scored a behind the back, no look basket — dribbled the length of the court, threw the ball up off the glass and caught his own pass. He was fantastic. Scored something like thirty-eight points. He could have played blind. Pistol Pete hadn’t played professionally for a while, and he was thought of as forgotten. I hadn’t forgotten about him, though. Some people seem to fade away but then when they are truly gone, it’s like they didn’t fade away at all. I started and completed the song “Dignity” the same day I’d heard the sad news about Pistol Pete. I started writing it in the early afternoon, about the time the morning news began to wear away and it took me the rest of the day and into the night to finish it.

He's amazing.

Dylan wrote about it in his autobiography. Walton is into the music of the 60's and so am I so I don't mind when he starts rambling about that. But he said LSU was much better when they had their starting point guard Malik Morgan. I mean come on. How much research does it take to get this right. And he actually came out and said he hoped San Francisco made a comeback and would win after talking about how great they and California were all game long. Aren't commentators supposed to at least pretend they are neutral?

quote:Walton was confused. Dylan just said he wrote the song the same day he heard about Pete dying. He never said that the song was about Pete, just that he wrote it that same day.

Nevertheless just to read about the impact that Pete Maravich made on Bob Dylan was pretty neat and I would have never known this except for Bill Walton's comments tonight

This guy was worse than the lady announcer on the 11 AM SECTV football games. And I didn't think that was possible.
"oh man, San Fransisco!"

The game was on TV. Bill was the color commentator and he was colorful.
