MP3 of the Day
On this day in 1976, the film The Bad News Bears was released in the US. The movie starred Walter Matthau as Morris Buttermaker, an alcoholic former minor-league baseball player, who becomes the coach of a terrible Little League team called the Bears. It also starred an 11-year-old Tatum O'Neal as Amanda Whurlizer, a skilled pitcher who is recruited by Buttermaker. In 2005, a truly awful remake of The Bad News Bears starring Billy Bob Thornton was released. Avoid this version if at all possible. Today we have BRIGHT EYES covering the Magnetic Fields' classic Papa Was A Rodeo.

It also stars a dude named Jackie Earl Haley as Kelly Leak. You might be familiar with Haley's more recent role, Rorschach, in Watchmen. That always blows my mind. Rorschach = Kelly Leak.
Jackie Earl Haley also played Moocher in ‘Breaking Away’ (1979) - another one of my favorites.
