...unlaced, over whom they exert a flimsy and temporary authority. Every classroom is an implicit smirk. Write what you feel; I feel that I am going to sit here and accept whatever that tired old bird dishes out, and then I'm going out on the green to toss a Frisbee, flirt, chomp on an Arch Deluxe, live. I'm going to leave him in his own dust...
...Thing tend to drag. But there are moments of dark, understated glory here that make you forgive the occasional missteps. The title track is the headiest moment; when Hooker sings, "I'm gonna live for the future/ not the past," using that rumbling, Richter-scale voice to toss off decades of heartbreak, the listener is touched with a redemptive awe.

The kids enjoy an easy rapport with Robinson as they toss him questions and he tosses them grounders. There is no racial subtext. There isn't even a gap between fan and star--they are just ballplayers of different sizes. As Jackie gently admonishes the kids, "Stay on it, stay right on it now," you realize that we didn't listen...
