Green Eyes and the Other Guy
Green Eyes and the Other Guy
By Mark Richardson , July 7, 2005
Thurston Moore's coffee table book Mix Tape: The Art of Cassette Culture has sent music geeks born before 1980 into their closets to dig out The Shoebox. You remember The Shoebox, right? It's the one you stuck behind the car seat the last couple times you changed apartments and then, once settled into the new place, filed it away on that high closet shelf until the next time you move. The Shoebox is stuffed with cracked cassette cases with yellowing labels and a few naked tapes. You wonder: Do they still play? Who knows? You never bothered to replace your deck when it breathed its last, and the old Walkman, wherever it is, needs batteries.
Moore's small book is pricey but entertaining, a fun nostalgia trip. And nostalgia is all cassettes are good for now, might as well admit it. While we weren't looking they just sort of vanished, and though I attended a "mixtape party" earlier this year, an event that directed invitees to bring music to share, most everyone brought CD-Rs and even those seemed quaint. Soon enough all we'll have is the memories and Moore is trying to set a few down in ink before it's too late. The most common mixtape yarn is the "Get the romantic interest to like you" tape. I have a couple of those, and then there's the story of the Harper Tapes, a tale of shame, jealousy, and perseverance.
Years ago in Seattle I met a woman named Julie who'd just gotten out of a long relationship with a guy named Chris Harper. It's a name that weighs heavy on my mind, because then it was shorthand for summarizing my most profound insecurities. Every young person entering a new relationship has his or her secret shame, the thing that renders them unlovable and which, if discovered, will lead them to a life of crushing loneliness (all of which explains why Smiths records will never go out of print). When I met Julie I knew I was just a bland middle-class, middle-of-the-road kid from a drab town in the Midwest. I was certain that I was a hopelessly boring person, and I needed constant vigilance to convince those around me otherwise. Especially Julie.
This fear of being recognized as a dullard being my Achilles heel, it was like this guy Harper was designed in a lab to make me as uncomfortable as possible. Harper, I was told by Julie and other people who knew him, was a cracked genius, a fantastically talented multi-disciplinary artist whose work was inspired by childhood tragedy. (As a kid he barely survived being run over by a car, and the physical trauma inspired his art, certain pieces of which made creative use of roadkill.) I'd seen a few paintings and they did indeed strike my untrained eye as something special, but mostly I knew Harper by his mixtapes, a dozen of which he'd made for Julie during the time they dated.
The covers, befitting Harper's art school training, were cool and weird in that now familiar punk collage sort of way, with photographs and drawings pasted next to Xeroxed lyrics and so on. I could just barely deal with the fact that she used to date a virtuoso painter, because I never had any illusions about my own talent with visual art, but there was more to this Harper fellow. Music was my area of expertise, or so I thought, and the content of Harper's tapes made me feel about five inches tall. Julie and I would be in her car driving out to the mountains for a weekend of backpacking, and some incredible song would come out of the deck. A frantic bassline mixed way to high, next to angular guitars and a dispassionate voice ticking off a laundry list. "Wow, this is fantastic. Who is this?" I would ask. "Eno," Julie would answer, "Third Uncle. It's from a Harper tape."
Of course. It was always from a Harper tape. Julie had the car and my tape collection was in another state, so when we went on trips she supplied the music. When Lesley Gore's "Judy's Turn to Cry" segued into Soft Cell's "What", only to head back into girl group territory with Lyn Anderson's "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden," and then a disturbing dialog snippet dubbed from a VHS copy of Taxi Driver led into Husker Du's version of "Love Is All Around" and on into Psychic TV's "Godstar" followed by Snakefinger's version of Kraftwerk's "The Model", then to Grace Jones' version of "Love is the Drug" to "I Feel Pretty" from West Side Story, it could only be the work of one man.
Even when we weren't traveling the Harper tapes mocked me from the shelf above Julie's bed, an inspired vision of 20th Century music history that tucked a few familiar favorites between esoteric bits from every corner of the pop song universe. He had a flair for subliminal connections, picking out the line "running away" in Beat Happening's "Tales of Aphrodite" to chain it into the tense bolero of Nick Cave's "Running Scared". I was learning from these tapes, mentally cataloging records to seek out whenever I listened to them (Lightnin' Hopkins' "Shaggy Dog" took me a couple years to track down on CD in the pre-internet days and it's still an all-time favorite), which was on the one hand a good thing.
What hurt was that my knowledge of music, which I considered to be pretty extensive for a guy my age, barely overlapped with these tapes. Recurring themes for Harper included girl-group pop, 80s goth and industrial, early hip-hop, and Velvets-inspired 80s indie like the Feelies. Much of it was foreign to me. What the hell did I know about Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle? After listening to these tapes, I understood my blind spots were larger than I'd ever imagined.
In short, The Harper tapes were brilliant and every time I heard one I was reminded that I had no business courting this woman, who was, after all, an artist herself. How could I possibly compete? Listening to his tapes made me fall in love with Harper, so I could only imagine what kind of sway they still held for Julie. This budding relationship, as wonderful as it seemed, was certainly doomed. These tapes were constant reminders of my own curatorial inadequacy and, ultimately, final proof that the milquetoast dweeb at the core of my being could run but not hide.
Before throwing in the towel and moving back to Michigan where I belonged, seeing if perhaps my Dad's accounting firm might still take me on as an errand boy, I made an effort to fight back. I aggressively set out to assemble a clutch of Richardson Tapes, on which I carefully sequenced music I was sure would knock Julie out. She didn't know I was competing with Harper because I never dared mention his aesthetic brilliance. I sensed that she still had a modicum of respect for my musical taste, so I didn't want to remind her of her former lover's incomparable talent for mood and pacing. When the first Richardson Tape was complete I handed it over, just as she was to go back East to spend a couple weeks with her family. We spoke on the phone a few days later.
"So, did you listen to the tape?" I asked.
"Yeah, yeah, on the plane. Thanks."
"And...? "
"Some of it's OK. What's that thing, 'You are listening to Los Angeles...?'"
"Yes! Soul Coughing. 'Screenwriters Blues'. I put a few from them on there. Great new band from New York."
"God, they're awful! So pretentious and the voice is so grating!"
"Oh...uh, did you catch that song 'Green Eyes'?"
"Sure, Hüsker Dü."
"I put that one on there because you have green eyes."
"Right...have that on a mix already, actually. Know it well."
Damn. I remembered one of the Harper tapes opening with New Order's "Temptation"-- 12-inch version, of course, never the easy CD route for Harper-- with its "Oh, you've got green eyes" refrain, but didn't recall hearing the Grant Hart song. This exchange was typical. I'd make tapes for Julie and only about a third of the songs held any interest at all. None of my work approached the magical completeness of what Harper could offhandedly dish out, and we both knew it.
But then something weird happened. I kept getting more chances. As months and then years passed, Julie stuck with me despite my inability to make her a tape that would make her love me. As time wore on I realized that I never in fact had any evidence at all that she cared one way or the other about the kind of tapes I made. We finally got married after eight years together.
My boss gave me a gift certificate to Best Buy for Christmas last year and I decided to get some blank tapes. Julie still had a cassette Walkman for running and needed to make a new mix. Two confused employees eventually guided me to a bare, dusty shelf in the back corner where a few packs of 60-minute tapes in dayglo lifesaver colors were scattered. I passed. A few weeks later I bought Julie an iPod Shuffle. Occasionally when she plugs it in to recharge I'll sneak on a few songs I think she'll like, and I always think of you-know-who. I'm listening to a Harper tape now as I write this. Thanks, Chris, wherever you are. From both of us.

FOXBORO — It was not a masterpiece.
One of the quarterbacks had 59 passing yards and an interception at halftime … and his team ended up winning the game. There was a missed field goal, there were more than 100 yards of penalties and the winning team turned the ball over three times.
In the end, it was enough for the Patriots to beat the Panthers, 20-10 (click here for the complete recap). The victory did allow the Patriots to snap a rare two-game losing streak, improve to 8-5 and take another step toward clinching the AFC East. Along the way, New England got very good performances from Wes Welker (10 catches, 105 yards) and Laurence Maroney (94 hard-earned rushing yards).
But in truth, the day was an excellent backdrop for the game. Amidst cold, wet, rainy and raw conditions, both teams were sluggish. The Patriots were playing flat and uninspired football until the midway point of the third quarter. Randy Moss caught just one pass for 16 yards and was booed several times throughout the first half. And Tom Brady was ineffective throughout much of the first half — Carolina's Matt Moore, thrust into the No. 1 job when starter Jake Delhomme went down with a finger injury, had more than doubled Brady's passing yardage at halftime (131 to 59).
As for the Panthers, they weren't much better. Carolina somehow found the end zone early but struggled through most of the afternoon, only getting inside the New England 40-yard line once in the second half. The Panthers' vaunted running game never got started, despite the fact that the Patriots played a sizable portion of the game without nose tackle Vince Wilfork, who went to the sideline twice with an injury. And the two quarterbacks combined for a 156.2 passer rating — less than the 158.3 Drew Brees hung on the Patriots two weeks ago.
However, at this stage of the season for New England, there's no interest in style points. No, at this stage of the season, with the Patriots having undergone a tumultuous week and fighting for a division title, just being able to come out of an ugly game like Sunday's contest with a win is sometimes good enough.
"Not perfect, but a good, solid effort — one we can build on here," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said.
"You can't characterize a win, because a win is a win," said kicker Stephen Gostkowski, who connected on a pair of fourth-quarter field goals. "They all count as one. Even if you beat them by two or 100, they all count the same."
Here are nine other things we learned Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium:
Moss finished with one catch for 16 yards and contributed little if nothing at all to the victory. In fact, almost every time Brady targeted Moss, bad things happened. The first pass attempt — which came late in the first quarter — was dropped. On the very next play, a pass for Moss was picked off by Carolina's Chris Gamble.
And Moss fumbled on his next attempt. In the end, he ended up with more tackles (two) than catches (one). After the game, Moss didn't speak to reporters, but Gamble told The Boston Globe that the receiver checked out.
For much of the afternoon, he looked miserable, sitting by himself most of the afternoon on the bench — the only player within hollering distance was long snapper Jake Ingram. (While the other offensive position players were sitting on one bench talking with coaches, Moss sat alone on the other bench.) Brady came over at one point to say a few words to him and pat him on the back, but it was clear that Moss was in a funk from which no one was going to shake him.
Moss has 11 catches for 183 yards and two touchdowns in the last four games.
"He was frustrated in himself and the situation, and it's just something you've got to fight through," Brady said. "He keeps fighting through it, and you have those days where it's not all great, but you keep lining up and you keep going up. You've just got to keep fighting."
According to outside linebacker Pierre Woods, those are the "Five P's," and they played a role in his return to the starting lineup on Sunday.
"I get a lot of time in practice. You go out there and it's like, 'Practice makes perfect,'" Woods said after Sunday's game. "I try to do my job, and I think I did OK."
"I didn't know anything. All I knew was that I was going to come in here and be prepared to get ready to play each and every day, and that was it," Woods added when he was asked if he knew he was going to get extra time on Sunday because Adalius Thomas was a healthy scratch.
Woods, who started three games last season after Thomas was injured, got the call in place of the deactivated Thomas and saw the bulk of the snaps at outside linebacker. Rob Ninkovich was on the field for most third downs and other passing situations, but for the most part, Woods was the primary beneficiary of Thomas' absence. He ended up with two tackles on defense and a special teams tackle.
"Pierre Woods and Rob Ninkovich, I think those guys did an excellent job setting the edge," said linebacker Jerod Mayo.
"When you're called upon, you just try to do the best of your ability, the best job you can do. Let the coaches know they can count on you," said Woods. "Basically, that's what it is. I really appreciated it, and I had a good time. I love being out there in all phases."
Woods has seen a drastic dip in his playing time recently, but isn't going to complain about his situation. The undrafted free agent out of Michigan loves special teams — he leads the Patriots in special teams tackles. Plus, his eyes are wide-open to the reality of the world when he leaves Gillette Stadium.
"How can you complain about a job like this? Some people aren't working," Woods said. "It's a blessing to be able to come in here and play."
In the wake of a week's worth of craziness, Faulk has suddenly emerged as a rock-steady presence in the locker room. He's the only guy on the 53-man roster left who predates Bill Belichick in Foxboro, one of the only people left in the locker room who remembers the bad old days of cramped lockers, cold showers and a culture of mediocrity.
On Sunday, Faulk had 75 all-purpose yards in Sunday's win over the Panthers. That included 58 rushing yards, three of which came on New England's first touchdown run of the day where he celebrated by firing the ball at the wall behind the end zone. (He later described the play as an "emotional" run.)
After the game, the veteran running back — one of Moss' closest friends on the roster — delivered a passionate defense of the receiver, telling reporters that no one in the organization is upset with Moss. He also talked about what it means to be a leader in tough times.
"As a veteran player, you know what's at stake this time of year and what your goal is," Faulk said. "And in order to reach our goal, we might have to get a little emotional.
"It's about going out there and leading by example," he added. "Going out there and leading by the way you play. Leading by the way you do your job."
In recent weeks, Patriots tight ends Benjamin Watson and Chris Baker have been utilized more as blockers than as pass-catchers — the two have combined for just 22 catches in the last 10 games. On Sunday, Watson had three catches for 37 yards and a touchdown, his first receptions since an Oct. 25 win over Tampa Bay.
The touchdown reception came late in the third quarter, and the five-yard scoring strike put the capper on a 13-play, 96-yard scoring drive that was the longest of the season for the Patriots. Along the way, it gave a small boost to New England's red zone offense, which has sputtered in recent weeks, but was 2-for3 on touchdown opportunities in the red area on Sunday.
For Watson, it was the fifth touchdown of the season. It's not an overwhelming offensive onslaught, but it's a start, especially for the Georgia product, who now has five receptions over his last four weeks.
"Everyone always asks me, 'Why don't you get the ball to Ben?' and when we do get it to him, he makes those plays," Brady said of Watson, who caught all three passes that were thrown in his direction. "He's always been a consistent player for us and he was today. … That touchdown was a big play on third-and-5 in the red area. I mean, that's what we've been talking about — those critical plays, you know?"
With 3:34 left in the second quarter, Carolina kicker John Kasay was lining up for a 53-yard field goal attempt toward the open end of Gillette Stadium that would have given the Panthers a 10-0 lead. Considering the flat, ineffective nature of the New England offense to that point in the game, it's not a stretch to consider that a made field goal would have given the Panthers a commanding lead.
But Kasay's kick fell short, the Patriots got the ball at their 43-yard line, and five plays later, they had tied the game at seven, thanks to a questionable pass interference penalty that gave New England 30 yards en route to a three-yard dash from Faulk for the score.
Compare that momentum swing to the one the Patriots enjoyed in the fourth quarter when Gostkowski connected on not one but two long field goals, also toward the open end of Gillette Stadium. Gostkowski booted a 48-yarder to make it 17-10 with 7:25 left in regulation, and added a 47-yarder for good measure with 4:01 remaining in the game on New England's next possession.
The windy, rainy afternoon drew some comparisons to the Buffalo game last season, a contest that featured winds gusting to 55 mph.
"It wasn't the easiest day, but it wasn't like Buffalo last year," said Gostkowski, who went over 100 points on the day for the fourth straight season. "It was just good to make a few kicks and get a win. You don't really think about the conditions because we practice in a lot worse conditions during the week, and it seemed a lot easier today than it would have been if we were in Buffalo."
"I think Steve hit a couple over 50 [yards] in pregame — 51, 52," Belichick said. "I think those were in the high 40s, right? Forty-six, 47 [yards], somewhere in there, so we felt that was a few yards into his range. We felt good about that. The play there on third down to Kevin [Faulk] to pick up nine or 10 yards on that third-and-14, or whatever it was, that was a big play to get us into field goal range.
"Steve's got plenty of leg. He's a strong kicker. I thought his balls were carrying pretty well — not like they do in September or in Florida — but we felt he was good for a little bit over 50."
The Patriots presented a handful of different looks along the offensive line. With Stephen Neal injured and inactive, the versatile Dan Connolly continued his quest to become Russ Hochstein for a new generation when he went wire-to-wire in his place at right guard. (He's also filled in at center.)
In addition, New England used rotating tackles throughout the game, starting with Matt Light at left tackle and Nick Kaczur at right tackle and spelling both with Sebastian Vollmer, playing for the first time since Nov. 22 because of a head injury. Brady was not sacked on the day — and Julius Peppers was rendered a non-factor much of the afternoon — but Kaczur appeared to swing and miss on a few assignments.
The series of rotating tackles was part of a plan to make sure all three got some playing time, according to Belichick. The group was helped by the fact that Vollmer had some positional versatility — he had played some right and left tackle in college before seeing time almost exclusively at left tackle before Sunday's game.
"I'm not sure exactly how the number of plays worked out, but they all played a significant part," Belichick said of the trio of tackles. "I think that was probably good for them to get a little break. It's not often those guys do, and be able to come back in and be fresh and go on those long drives. But we tried to work Sebastian back in this week, and he did with a decent number of plays."
"You practice it and try to be ready when the situation comes," said Vollmer. "When coach tells you to get in, you better be ready. So I take every chance, every opportunity I get in practice and in the game to get better."
Over the course of the season, few stats have been stranger than New England's second-half scoring woes. While many of their struggles in the third and fourth quarters have taken place away from home (in their five road losses, New England has been outscored 83-24 in the second half), they've also struggled at home. Heading into Sunday's game, in the prior two weeks, New England had been outscored 26-14 in the second half. And in their last two home games — against the Dolphins and the Jets — the Patriots had barely outscored the opposition in the second half, 18-14.
On Sunday, the Patriots were able to flip the script. They looked flat and uninspired in the first half, turning the ball over three times in the first two quarters. But they were able to come up with 13 second-half points, including one of their steadiest and more sustained drives in recent memory.
"The important thing is, we have the second half," said Faulk when asked about the team's thoughts at halftime. "The thing on our mind was, 'OK, just keep playing. Keep doing what you're doing.' The ball wasn't bouncing our way, we had too many turnovers in the first half. But at the same time, we knew that there was a second half that we had to play.
"And that was one of our goals coming in, finishing the game. We might have had a horrible start, but finishing the game is what's going to win it for you."
Sanders, who saw his playing time cut drastically with the emergence of Brandon McGowan, and Springs, who was inactive over the last month, both saw considerable time on Sunday against the Panthers. Both got the start, and were involved in several plays on the afternoon. Sanders had seven tackles and had a pass defensed (but dropped a sure interception), while Springs ended up with three tackles.
The move to go to the two wasn't a shock — some defensive starters said that the two spent the bulk of the week getting the reps with the starters, so it wasn't a surprise.
"It's extremely hard, extremely difficult, but we're professionals and we have to be professional about it," Sanders said of his demotion. "Whatever role they ask me, I have to do to the best of my ability to help the team; whatever role that may be.
"At the time, throughout most of the season I wasn't playing defense, but I couldn't worry about myself individually. I have to worry about the team. Definitely trying not to be a distraction and be professional about the situation. I am just very proud I got my opportunity today and all other feelings have to wait until the off-season."
Brady was not at his best, hobbled by a panoply of injuries that included but was not limited to a finger, ribs and shoulder. His ineffectiveness showed throughout the first half — he had just 59 passing yards and an interception at halftime. As a result, the Patriots were forced to lean more on their running game, and Maroney had one of his finest games of the season.
The numbers should be taken with a colossal grain of salt because the Panthers were one of the worst teams in the league at stopping the run (entering Sunday, they were 26th in the league, yielding an average of 133.3 rushing yards per game), but Maroney ran well all day, finishing with 94 yards, his second-best performance of the season. Kevin Faulk had 58 yards on 10 carries and Sammy Morris added six carries for 35 yards. (Morris provided the only negative moment for the running game, fumbling the ball away in the third quarter.)
As a group, New England had 185 rushing yards, its second-best output of the season, and averaged 4.6 yards per carry. (The Pats had 193 rushing yards in the 59-0 blowout of Tennessee.) They easily outgained the vaunted Carolina running attack, 185-126.
"Good blocking and good running — there's no real magic formula to it," Belichick said when asked about the secret to the success of the running game on Sunday. "I thought our backs ran hard. We got a little bit of yards after contact, we got the ball outside, we also ran plays inside, so we had some balance in the running game [and] that helped us on some play action passes — we got some guys open."
The guys react to what Don Banks had to say and get into some more thoughts on Deflategate. Are McNally and Jastremski ever going to break their silence and give their side of the story? Price says yes ... eventually.
Don Banks talks with the NFL Sunday boys about his reaction to Brady's appeal, where we go from here and the NFL's motives and decisions throughout the process.

Greg and Price discuss their thoughts on some of the reports that have leaked after Tuesday from Brady's appeal hearing. The boys talk about what the reaction will be if Brady decides to accept a 1-game suspension. Fans want a complete exoneration, but there's a good chance that they won't get that - how will they react? They also talk with Mike Petraglia and get his thought on the appeal and more.

B's must focus on strong finishBy DAN GELSTON
THe Associated Press | April 25,2013Boston fans and players have mourned, observed moments of silence, and heard rousing chants for the city and its teams.
Even so-called hated rivals have turned down the trash talk and turned up the tributes for the Bruins. The Philadelphia Flyers were the latest team to pitch in with charitable contributions and video clips of marathon first responders and other rescue personnel.
But once you get past the stirring national anthems and cathartic moments, hockey has become the hard part for the Bruins.
In danger of losing the Northeast Division lead, the Bruins have dropped five of six games, including a 5-2 loss to the Flyers on Tuesday night. They have had mental lapses while allowing ugly goals and too many turnovers for a team with hopes of winning a second Stanley Cup in three seasons.
Whatever the reason for the ill-timed slump, coach Claude Julien has seen enough, though the Bruins can still salvage a strong postseason seed.
Were running out of time here to get this stuff going, Julien said. You always hope that its some sort of wakeup call. But the way the season has gone, youre questioning whether it will or not.
The Bruins (27-13-5) sit in second place in the Eastern Conference and lead the division. But the Bruins and Montreal (27-14-5) both have 59 points. New Jersey beat Montreal 3-2 on Tuesday night. With three games left for Boston, and two for Montreal, the race for second will come down to the final week.
The Bruins are trying to give their fans a reason to cheer for their play on the ice.
It hasnt been easy, mentally, Julien said. But everybody has to get back to work. For us to use that an excuse, it would not be a good excuse. We should be using it the other way. We should be thriving on it instead of using it as a crutch.
The Flyers saluted Boston in the Bruins first road game since the Boston Marathon bombings. The Flyers showed a message on the video board that read, From One Tough Town to Another. They also had video images of four blue-yellow ribbons that said, Boston Strong, on each faceoff circle.
I had goosebumps the whole time the video went off, Flyer coach Laviolette said. To hear the Philadelphia fans as passionate as they are about the city of Philadelphia and Philadelphia sports, start yelling for Boston as the videos are going on, that was touching as well. I dont think its just a Boston thing or the Boston people rallying around. I really think its one of those moments in time that gets captured by a country or gets captured by our world and its bigger than the city itself.
The 50/50 raffle that usually supports Philadelphia charities went to onefundboston.org. The Flyers raised $85,595 Tuesday night, and team president Peter Luukko and general manager Paul Holmgren presented a check for $42,978 to Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli and president Cam Neely.
Even if the results havent showed, the support has rallied the Bruins.
I think theres a real responsibility for us to go out and play and give it all weve got, Bruins defenseman Wade Redden said. Its kind of what we can control. So I guess its business as usual in a lot of ways. But, obviously, theres a lot of people we know in the area and the city that are affected, so it certainly touches everybody.
The Bruins need to find a way to use that channel that energy into fuel for a postseason push.
They hope to get that lift from playoff-tested forward Jaromir Jagr.
At 41, and two decades removed from winning two straight Stanley Cups with Pittsburgh, the Bruins swung a trade deadline deal with Dallas to get Jagr and some needed offensive punch for the postseason. Hes been stuck on the third line, though has ice time has remained solid, including 17:28 vs. the Flyers. Jagr, who has 78 career postseason goals, can still be a difference-maker for a team that has struggled to score of late. The Bruins have scored two or fewer goals in five of the last six games, though Jagr did chip in an assist in the loss to the Flyers.
Its up to me how Im going to produce, Jagr said. I understand what the situations is. In the playoffs you have to have three lines to be tough to check. Even when we lost against Pittsburgh and Boston, I feel we played our best hockey. We just couldnt score. Sometimes, the sport is like that. I like the way we play. If we continue the way we play in the last three games, its a matter of time before we score goals.
Boston won the Northeast Division by 10 points last season and had the No. 2 seed in the East before losing to the Washington Capitals in seven games, in overtime, in the first round of the playoffs. That was a disappointing title defense, which the Bruins hope to compensate for this year.
Winning the Cup is enough motivation for any player.
Winning it for Boston, now, would mean about as much as any championship could.
I think in some ways, its a motivational thing, Redden said. When something like that happens, it puts a lot of things in perspective for a lot of reasons. Were in a position right now where were in the playoffs, and our focus right now is just getting better.
Obviously, everyone wants to move on from all that stuff, too.MORE IN Wire SportsNEW YORK The United States win over Japan in the Womens World Cup final was the most viewed...

Went to Tiki Room tonight. Slipping in at the last minute since fireworks were cancelled. So glad I did.
I don't know why it took me so long to realize, but Jose's, Michael's, Fritz's and Pierre's feathers correspond with the country they are from...
Michael - Irland - Green and yellow feathers
Jose - Mexico - Green, red and white feathers
Fritz - Germany - Red, black and white feathers
Pierre - France - Red, white and blue feathers
Am I the only one who never noticed this?

American Wins World Air-Guitar Championship
Updated: Saturday, August 3 2013, 09:47 PM CDT
Justin "Nordic Thunder" Howard from the US won the 17th Air Guitar World Championships in Oulu, Finland on Friday (August 24).
The Air Guitar World Championships is a three day event with international contestants that culminates in a Grand Finale at Rotuaari Square in the center of Oulu in Northern Finland.
Around 5,000 people gathered in the city center to watch 18 contestants from around the world battle for the grand prize...a real guitar.
"Everyone is very excited of course since this is a big event and so forth, so everyone is always looking forward to this happening," a spectator said.
In the Grand Finale, National Air Guitar Champions from Japan, UK, US, Belgium, Germany, Finland, Denmark, The Netherlands, Russia, Czech Republic, France and Estonia battled it out alongside "Dark Horses" -- five finalists from a qualifying round held on Thursday (August 23).
The world championships was first organized in Oulu in 1996. Previous world champion Aline "The Devil's Niece" Westphal from Germany said her performance in this year's competition was "more crazy".
"The performance this year is very different from the performance last year, it's more girlie style, it's wild, it's rock n' roll style and it's not so dramatic as last year and yeah, a little bit more crazy, I think," Westphal, who came in 8th place on Friday, said.
Contestants must impress both the judges and the audience with their air guitar skills.
In the first round, contestants played a song of their choice. The 10 contestants with the highest score went through to the second round, where they performed 'Loose My Soul' by the Flaming Sideburns.
"I for myself, I like improvisations. That is the main thing for me, but of course you have to look at the whole performance and I think my heart decides who is the best one. It's that simple and difficult at the same time," said judge Juha Torvinen, a well-known Finnish guitarist.
"Nordic Thunder" Howard won the 2011 National Competition in the US and went through the qualifying round to enter this year's final.
His strategy was to immediately get the attention of the judges.
"Going early in a competition is tough because the judges, they are going to be conservative with their scores until they see someone that really pops, so my plan is to come out and be that one that's like 'paah'," he said.
"I feel amazing, I feel loved, I feel like crying and laughing and hugging," "Nordic Thunder" said after he was announced the winner.
The Air Guitar World Championships aims to promote world peace. "According to the ideology of the Air Guitar, wars would end, climate change stop and all bad things disappear if all the people in the world played Air Guitar", the championships official website states.

Aveda Sustainability Report: Company Halves Municipal Waste
Cosmetics brand Aveda says it cut municipal waste at its main manufacturing plant nearly in half in the last two years, but its industrial waste rose in that time and recycling fell.
Between 2008 and 2010, municipal waste output from Aveda's Blaine, Minn. headquarters fell 48 percent, to 250,900 lb, according to the firm's sustainability report.
Industrial waste rose eight percent to 262,147 lb per year.
Aveda says industrial waste, which mostly results from product destruction, may have risen due to sales falling short of forecasts.
The company's output of hazardous waste fell by five percent. But at the end of the 2010 financial year, Aveda discovered it had released glycol ethers into its wastewater, in excess of Environmental Protection Agency requirements. No corrective actions have been taken against the company, the report said.
Recycling and re-use fell 16 percent, although corrugate recycling improved. "The decrease in the recycled and reused category is somewhat surprising and, at the time of this writing, the reasons for this are not fully clear," the report said.
In the past two years Aveda became a net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emitter through green energy purchases and carbon offsets, the company said. Its gross GHG emissions also fell 13 percent, to 12 million pounds of CO2.
Electricity use measured as MJ per Kg of production dropped 20 percent in that time.
The company says it has made energy efficiency upgrades every year since 1994. Most recently, it replaced T8 lamps with higher efficiency T5 fixtures.
An efficiency audit, run together with the firm's electric utility, found that Aveda's best energy-saving opportunity lies in replacing inefficient heat exchangers. Aveda says it has included this project in its capital program, and will replace the exchangers as their useful life ends.
Aveda this year finalized sustainability criteria for raw material suppliers. The company has a goal for half of suppliers to meet these criteria by 2012.
Aveda is a subsidiary of Estée Lauder Companies, and was the second U.S. company to qualify for Cradle to Cradle holistic certification.
