Fairport and Anfield, then "The Big A"

We returned from an overnight stay in Cedar Rapids, Iowa just in time to tune in to a live Premier League match on Fox Soccer Channel.
What a match it was!
Fernando Torres scored on a header in stoppage time as LIVERPOOL salvaged a 2-2 draw with visiting TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR at Anfield.
Andriy Voronin opened the scoring for the Reds in the 12th minute. Robbie Keane then gave Spurs a surprise lead with goals on either side of the interval.
It looked like a Spurs victory until Torres leapt for the winning header.
Later, I relaxed with a brandy stinger while listening to a "best of" compilation by FAIRPORT CONVENTION.
I have often thought of Fairport as "the English Jefferson Airplane." At their peak, both bands benefited from outstanding musicianship and a stunning female vocalist -- in Fairport's case, the sublime SANDY DENNY.
Now, I am listening to the Angels and the Red Sox live from "The Big A" on 710 ESPN, courtesy of Major League Baseball's Gameday Audio subscription package.
