Once again I find myself without words, Sam Mewis you will always be a legend, this game will miss you everyday, I can’t believe this day has come for you so soon.
Injuries aren’t fair, and soccer is cruel.
Sam Mewis IS one of the greatest soccer players to ever touch a ball, and we couldn’t have won in 2019 without her.
Our amazing Tower of Power, I’ll be hanging on your every word in retirement.

TOWER OF POWER (Live) - So Very Hard To Go
youtube
I knew the time would come, I'd have to pay for my mistakes / I can't blame you for what you're doin' to me girl / even tho' my heart aches / Your dreams have all come true just the way you planned them / so I'll just step aside, I'm gon step aside and lend a helping hand then.
'Cause I could never make you unhappy, no I couldn't do that girl / only wish I didn't love you so, makes it so very hard to go.
Good night y'all 😘

From the Festivál album, a song guaranteed to get your body moving, from Carlos Santana and the boys, augmented by the Tower of Power Horns.
This is a particularly sweet spot in the Santana discography, following his years in the spiritual jazz-rock realms that began with Caravanserai and continued through his time with his then-guru Sri Chinmoy. The band's release of Amigos, followed by Festivál, saw Carlos embrace actual tunes and danceable rhythms. And here, the Santana machine is in top form, featuring the great Jose "Chepito" Areas on the timbales and Raul Rekow on the congas, with Graham Lear (d) and Pablo Tellez (b). One of the best of the Santana bands.
Here is the original as written and popularized by the Cuban composer and percussionist Pello el Afrokán, born Pedro Izquierdo Padrón, who also developed the "Mozambique" rhythm called out in the lyrics.

Some background here on Pello:
And for the hispanohablantes among you, this documentary on the composer and percussionist:

I'm not ready to talk about Sammy Bananas.
Sad news. Happy news. Kind of saw it coming.
What a joyful player. She will be missed on the pitch, but I'm looking forward to her work with Men In Blazers.

Oh Sammy. Absolutely gutted for her. I feel like we all knew it was coming, but it’s so unfortunate that her career has ended so prematurely.
I am so excited to see how her new venture with Men in Blazers goes. I feel like it’s going to be special.

My media this week (20-26 Aug 2023)
my absolute fave line in all of heartstopper, so glad they left it unaltered
📚 STUFF I READ 📚
😍 how a resurrection really feels (LiarsandThieves22) - 176K, steddie - post s4 fixit with a timeline merge - just brilliantly executed, lots of great emotional moments as well as even more laugh out loud ones. Big, big rec.
🙂 The Wedding Bait (Golden Years #1) (Adele Buck, author & narrator) - novella; cishet romance but MCs in their 50s, which was a nice change
😊 Murder at the Village Fair (Miss Underhay Mysteries #13) (Helena Dixon, author; Karen Cass, narrator) - Matt & Kitty are on a sort-of delayed honeymoon & get involved in murder in Yorkshire while visiting his aunt
😊 here there be dragons (theundiagnosable) - 66K, original hockey fic - epitome of sunshine/grumpy - POV char has extreme anxiety/anxiety-induced paranoia/anger outbursts due to fear etc - he gets better & it does end very happily but first we gotta watch him train wreck everything & suffer (to be clear, I did enjoy reading this! but it's a lot!)
🥰 Lemon Meringue Lies (Nejinee) - 111K, technically stucky modern no-powers AU but honestly such an AU that it's really more of original fic WHICH ISN'T at all bad - best friends to lovers, lots of oblivousness, pining, angst, emotional dumbassery but also a really great external setting & compelling supporting characters (who just all happen to have names/physical traits as MCU characters) [reread]
😍 if I'm gonna get back to you someday (napricot) - 46K, post Endgame fixit with "a clusterfuck of Steves" from different multiverses [reread for stucky bookclub]
😍 Golden Handcuffs (seekwill) - 70K, Good Omens human AU where they're both professors at a small Scottish university - brilliant fic, great characterizations, solid story development, absolutely loved it
💖💖 +246K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖
Mandatory Fun (One-EyedBossman (desert000rose), SecretFandomStories) - MCU: stucky, 39K - Part 11 of Differently Okay Local Idiots; Bucky & Steve go suit shopping with Natasha & together navigate another bump in their road
To the Waters and the Wild (rainbow_nerds) - MCU: magical shrunkyclunks, 23K - selkie!Bucky finds Captain America frozen when he's 10 years old, but no one believes him; ~15 years later, Cap finally thaws out
To Kiss the Tender Inward of Thy Hand (circ_bamboo) - Band Sinister (KJ Charles): Ned Caulfield/George Penn, 32K - beautiful backstory of how Ned & George met
Sit (fandomfluffandfuck) - MCU: stucky, 21K, Part 1 of You Can('t) Teach An Old Dog New Tricks - modern, no powers AU - promising start to a series about older/old guard dom Steve & newbie dom Bucky

March 23, 1975

The lineup included Graham Central Station, Tower of Power, Santana, The Doobie Brothers, Grateful Dead*, Joan Baez, and a special performance by Bob Dylan and The Band with Neil Young.

Please enjoy this gif I made of Tower of Power circa like 1977. That’s Lenny Picket, dancing like a brilliant fool.
