BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

When two tribes go to war (not from Frankie Goes to Hollywood)

I'm not really a huge fan of Four Four Two. It's okay but World Soccer or Champions is much better in terms of substance, content, and writing.

Anyways, the September issue has a nice feature on the rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Of course you can only do somuch in the space of a few pages but for those not well-steeped into the history between the two clubs, then it's a good read.

And with Zlatan Ibrahimovic in Camp Nou, you'll be thrilled to know there's a feature on the rivalry between Sweden and Denmark. Worth a buy for the fan. And the pictures are plenty good.
