Aaaha...When the Bullets hit the bone

BENTON - Now we're steppin' into the Twilight Zone. The song entitled Twilight Zone (When The Bullet Hits The Bone) was a 1982 hit by the Dutch band Golden Earring. It was written by the band's guitarist George Kooymans, who got the inspiration from The Bourne Identity book by Robert Ludlum. Twilight Zone appeared on the band's "Cut" album and it pays tribute to the 1960s classic television series The Twilight Zone that ran on CBS for five seasons and accumulated 156 episodes. The song spent 27 weeks on the U.S. pop charts and was band's only No. 1 hit in America even though the band's Radar Love hit did make a nice run in 1973. From its distinctive beginning, the song is well-crafted and full of descriptive lines throughout. An undercover story, uncanny vocals, powerful guitars and awesome drum play make it a rock classic. The Bullets had to feel like they were going through The Twilight Zone in Week 2 of the 2019 BDFL season with points raining down in Benton like "a storm on the loose". The Armadillos floated in on their backs from the Chattahoochee down to the Alabama on Sunday with big-time points packed in their backs only to be shot dead on arrival down in the boondocks. As they say frequently down in the Black Belt... "Soon you will come to know...When the bullet hits the bone". Twilight Zone by Golden Earring (1982)

Throwback Week dials it back to 1974

TITLETOWN - The BDFL's Throwback Week 2019 will take us back to 1974 with eight classic NFL vs. WFL match-ups to play the "what if" games we were robbed from in our youth. Week 6 will feature the following inter-league gridiron grudge matches: Falcons vs. Americans, Grizzlies vs. Dolphins, Wheels vs. Lions, Saints vs. Steamer, Rams vs. Sun, Bears vs. Fire, Hawaiians vs. Raiders and Bell vs. Steelers. Plus, this will give us a chance to open the vault on classic tales like Uncle Ronnie kicking against Larry Csonka, Matthew Reed throwing the ball 100 yards in warm-ups and this nugget from Memphis...The Grizzlies 1974 home opener in the WFL was against the Detroit Wheels and drew 30,122 fans to the Liberty Bowl, including Elvis who was a self-professed football fanatic. Country superstar Charlie Rich sang the national anthem during which all the players stood up for back then in the good ol' WFL. After the anthem Rich took his seat next to Elvis who commented, "That's a tough song to sing, ain't it?" to which Rich replied, "It ain't no Behind Closed Doors."
