71 days after a 70% laceration of his Achilles and #65 is back in the lineup somewhow.

Are we invigorated, hopeful, concerned, awed, and slaves to a cult of personality?

Yes all those things, listed here in song form.

a) Mark Morrison – Return Of The Mack

Maybe this mid-90's R&B classic captures your mood?

b) Kanye West – Jesus Walks

The son (or adopted son) of god himself stepping in to save the season.

c) The Smiths – How Soon Is Now?

If you read this post from @Jonana yesterday and have a little apprehension about the whole situation.

d) M83 – Moonchild

For those that accept the "wizard theory" and just need something appropriately epic to mark the occasion.

e) Världens Bästa Karlsson

Or maybe you're just a sucker for a classic.
