OK, I wrote this much earlier this week. Hopefully, it will be on time.
Song of the Week: The Rising Sun by CFO$
For those who didn’t know or didn’t read my Tuesday post, I’m a fan of professional wrestling. I like long-term storytelling, the ability to say what you want to say without saying anything, and the overall pageantry of it all. Some wrestlers are better than others. And Shinsuke Nakamura is one of the better ones.
Nakamura is odd. There’s no better way of putting it. Here’s a clip of him not really explaining his actions after punching the current champion in the nuts a few months ago. Since then, he has been amazing. His current character is that of a jerk who knows exactly which buttons to press, and smiles right in your face as he presses them. You want to hate him, and that’s what makes him so good.
I bring up Nakamura because the song this week is his theme music (he has a new version that has lyrics, but it’s not as good). Check out this clip from when he debuted on the main show, after proving himself in developmental. The energy from the crowd singing along is mesmerizing to me. I find myself whistling the melody while I’m at work. One day, I’d like to be in the crowd to experience what it’s like to hear thousands of people, maybe more, all speaking and singing as one.
