The Zen of Bobby Vee

[Guest themetfairy]

I loved the guy who cried when he had to face the crowd after the loss because he let them down that day. That was a guy who was devastated!

I started watching in the middle, as Bobby was scaling Mount Fuji. I hope to catch it from the beginning at some point, since it was very enjoyable. Loved it.

That's a very Japanese trait.

What was amazing about that scene was it took place when the Marines team went over to their fans at Sapparo Stadium ( where the championship series was played) to thank them for all the support , the fans were crying but also they were still singing the teams praises in song , it was all very organized but they were so loud , then they started singing for the other team to do well in the Japan Series , it would be really cool to be at a game there I would think.

Or... it would be really cool to bring something of the same supportive spirit back to US culture.

Nah, it's better to just boo the bums. It's our RIGHT to boo after all.
