Beautiful morning for a walk here in Austin, TX. so I headed down to the track at the St. Edward’s soccer field to get in a couple of miles. It was obvious that there was going to be a match held shortly as the players from the opposing team were beginning to slowly filter on to the field. I figured I probably had time to get in a few more laps before the game started, but then the sound guy showed up with his equipment and proceeded to conduct a sound check. His song of choice? “Believe.” Hearing Cher at 80 decibels so early in the day caused me to have a mild case of cognitive dissonance since I felt I should be walking briskly with a cigarette in one hand and $3 well drink in the other. I had to leave. Maybe next time I encounter that situation I’ll see if he takes requests and ask for something by Fleetwood Mac.
