...world that matters. On the bona fide radio hits--Run It!, Yo (Excuse Me Miss), Gimme That--he has enough discipline to let the hooks do their work, while on the remaining tracks his charm and clean voice rise above a synthesizer that comes on stronger than Colt 45--era Billy Dee Williams...
Born in 1889 to a Neapolitan baker named Raffaele Esposito—and some would say perfected at a Cantabrigian restaurant on Winthrop St.—pizza is an unassuming peacemaker with a storied past. There have been other attempts at formulating an unbeatable weapon for peace. Samuel Colt tried in the 1870s with his Colt 45 “Peacemaker” revolver.

"They did carry me off the field, didn't they?" Berry said later in the self-effacing manner...
Being a former Colt, one who left Baltimore on mean terms, Jet Cornerback Johnny Sample pressed a personal grudge and won a private Super Bowl, but he lost something too. Sample recalls, "At one point I jumped on [Colts Running Back] Tom Matte out of bounds. He didn't do much after that." Another time, "momentum carried me into the Colts' bench and I got slugged with six or seven helmets." Other raps were to come.
