The Cheap seat quote was from the late singer/songwriter Harry Chapin, who, 
when performing, would say that to praise the people in the back/upper 
rows.  He knew these were the "everyday people", the ones that may not have 
the money to afford a great seat, but came anyway.  The cheap seats were 
often the loudest, most raucous and supportive ones at a Chapin 
concert.  Harry clearly identified more with the normal people, eschewing 
the "Jet set".

So, it was intended as a compliment to that part of the list, being 
continuously supportive of the Celtics from our own "Cheap Seats", even 
when things weren't going so hot.

The Charlie Brown comment was after a loss to the Bulls, where everything 
seemed to go wrong--hence "one of those Charlie Brown nights".  Everyone 
has one of those sooner or later--only Good Ol' Charlie Brown himself has 
them all the time.


>No biggy.

Big enough for you to make a public complaint to the list, big enough for 
me to set the record straight.

Glad to hear it!!

Well, the game IS in Boston, and presumably, the Celtics know how to get to 
the Fleet Center by now...  :>))))

I reserve comment until he actually plays.


>P.S.S. Any ideas on free-agent big men?

Besides, "We need one"?  No, not really...
