huh?
Elton John did Philadelphia Freedom as a tribute to Billy Jean King and her Phila. based tennis team. I don’t know,
other Philly songs?
Papelbon was associated with the song in World Series victory parade (etc) as he danced barefoot on the float, or on the field, etc. The bagpipe rock and roll song (by a Boston band),
used in the movie The Departed,
became associated with Boston (as did the Mighty Mighty Bosstones’ rendition of the century-old Red Sox rally song ‘Tessie’—”Boston, you are the only, only, only...)
Pap’s a real character and now he pitches in cheesesteak
town. He’s orig. from Louisiana I think...btw speaking of a Boston-Philly connection, don’t forget Ben Franklin who
orig. was from Bos then became more associated with “The City That Loves You Back”
