Aaron Neville and Rosa Parks
It was sad to read about the death of Rosa Parks yesterday, although she’d had a good innings at 92.
Before Aaron Neville’s tortuous rendition of God Bless America that split the seventh inning of the third game of the World Series, the crowd was asked to pause for a moment’s silence to remember Rosa. I didn’t have a stopwatch, but I would estimate four seconds elapsed before the announcer resumed normality. Not sure if this is the norm in America (as opposed to our minute), but it certainly came across as disrespectful.
The Chicago White Sox are currently leading the Houston Astros two games to 0 (in a series of seven), and are up 5-4 midway through the seventh. Looks like it could be over before the weekend.
