Final Sunday, Buck County-native Sabrina Carpenter gave a shoutout throughout her Grammy Award acceptance speech to Bala Cynwyd, the group on Philly’s Foremost Line the place she used to take voice classes. Just like in 2018, that merely must be an indication that the Birds are, as soon as once more, taking the Tremendous Bowl this Sunday.
Right here at World Cafe, our Philly-based crew prides itself on its dedication to unbiased and fact-based music journalism … besides with regards to the Birds.
It has been two years since the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs went head-to-head on the championship stage, and Philly is primed for its redemption arc. Final month, the Eagles set a brand new file for probably the most factors ever scored throughout an NFC championship recreation, crushing the Washington Commanders 55-23. Jalen Hurts is on the prime of his recreation, plus we’ve celebrity operating again Saquon Barkley on the sphere this yr.
In that spirit, we have up to date our “Superior Tremendous Bowl Playlist” with tons of Philly G.O.A.T.s: Jill Scott, Corridor & Oates, Boyz II Males, The Roots, The Struggle on Medicine, The Delfonics, Alex G, and lots of extra. Tune in because the candy odor of an Eagles victory begins to waft by the air (or is that grease being smeared on the lamp posts down Broad Street?)
Both means, a win is imminent. We’re positive of it. As positive as we’re that Jason Kelce is the cooler brother. Or, that West Studying-born Taylor Swift secretly wears silver and midnight inexperienced below all that Chiefs purple. Or, that it’s spelled E-A-G-L-E-S. And, as positive as I’m that World Cafe govt producer Bruce Warren (aka, my boss) will give all of us the next Monday off if — no, when — the Eagles declare their victory this Sunday.
Benefit from the tunes, and go Birds.
