excerpt: self-indulgence

This song is an excerpt from A Talk in the Attic Ep. 242. This parody was written and performed by Kirk Ross using Neil Young's "From Hank to Hendrix" as the source of inspiration. 

From Fontes to Patricia
I stayed rootin’ for you
I was this close to giving up
Couldn’t bring myself to
So many new coaches
It was an endless hell
So hard to believe in them
Until Dan Campbell 

Finally got it together
MCDC’s bona fide
He’s built a culture here
Throw SOL aside

Scott Mitchell to Matt Stafford
Sure, they both made me smile
But now we’re heading to a title game
San Francisco-style
I found myself thinking
Why it’d felt so off
Turns out, we needed more
Enter Jared Goff

Finally got a QB
One who takes care of the ball
Calm as a cucumber
Plus he’s pretty tall

Sometimes it’s Montgomery
Other times it’s Jahmyr
Sun God, LaPorta or Leaf
With no tacklers near
Defense getting better
Finally hitting their stride
Iffy, Duce, Branch and Cam
Hutch & Mac inside

This roster’s so much better
Younger, faster, and tough as nails
Plus they’re gritty as f**k
And GRIT, it never fails

*WATCH ON YOUTUBE* ... Kirk dives into his favorite sports team: the Detroit Lions, who are about to take on the San Francisco 49ers in their first NFC Championship game in 32 years. An organization marred by a lack of continuity and buried in futility, these Brand New Lions have everyone talking...and in this case, they've even got Kirk singing (a Lions-themed Neil Young parody).
