Robert Burleigh's text features vivid, sharp images ("number 42 dances his odd pigeon-toed dance off third base") that describe Jackie Robinson stealing home during a game in the 1955 World Series. Mike Wimmer's oil paintings are simply gorgeous--rich, thickly painted close-ups of pitcher, runner, batter, crowd (he chooses to focus mostly on black faces in the stands, which adds a powerful effect).

Oh. Well, I guess that's just a better band than the Stones. Cool! Hehe.

No, it's The Who. The instrumental is called Sparks, and it's from Tommy
