….Jason Cohen is to picking out embarrassing items composed by NHL hockey maven John Buccigross.
The NHL is once again a young man’s game. It is speed and skating, and I wanted to see if for myself. So, I took Ween guitarist Mickey Melchiondo’s invitation to sit with him during a Penguins-Flyers game, and his season tickets are five rows from the ice.
As a thank-you to Mickey, I contacted the Flyers’ manager of game operations, Michael Wurman, and asked whether he would play the Ween song “It’s Gonna Be a Long Night” at some point. Sure enough, during the first intermission, the song came on, and Mickey, as laid-back as he is, was visibly touched.
