I was listening to the NHL network's show on Sirius last night and Bettman was broadcasting from Ottawa. To lead into commercial they started playing "Ripple", and I thought, wow, they let Booche get control of the audio booth at the NHL network. When they came back from commercial "Box of Rain" had started and no one was speaking. The co-host said something and Bettman snapped out of it and apologized for getting lost in the song, and mentioned that every now and then they play music that he likes. Never woulda thought it about him, but there ya go.
Hey, there's been worse Dead reference threads on this board in the past
