ref: Crowe 1973a, p. 18: learning it may not happen, Weir: "Awwww", Weir groans. ''We had 'Stars and Stripes Forever' rehearsed and everything. It transcribes pretty well to a rock 'n roll band, y'know." "I heard you were just gonna do 'Sugar
Magnolia"', the writer comments. "Well," says Rock, "that would have been the
only part that would have been on TV." "Wait a minute", says Weir, completely miffed by now. "I thought we were just asked to play the kind of stuff other half-time bands play." Scully calmly pauses a moment to sort things out mentally. "Well, they were also supposed to have one of those bands loo. And Andy Williams will be singing ' I Lefft My Heart In San Francisco'. We would have set up to do twenty minutes pre-game to warm the crowd up, then they'd have had us back to do 'Sugar Magnolia' during the television half-time break."
