Pixburghers are Nuts

So the Steeler victory celebration parade in downtown Pittsburgh today drew a crowd of 250,00. Say it with me now: Two hundred, fifty thousand. Officials had expected 40,000. Just a small underestimation.

And in a weird news tidbit, I just read that Greg and Rebecca Sparks of The Sparks created a song about Jerome Bettis. I saw The Sparks perform while I was in college. I don't think I realized that they are local. Anyway, they sing folksy-popish Christian tunes. And now they sing the praises of football legends, apparently. Fair enough, I suppose.

Question to Jess if she's reading: Is saying "Greg and Rebecca Sparks of The Sparks" like saying "Kip Winger of Winger fame"?

Not at all the same.
Not many people are familiar with Greg and Rebecca, so it's understandable that you'd say "of The Sparks."
But with Kip Winger on the other hand...he's a rock/metal god, so the mention of Winger fame was just not necessary. I mean, come on...who doesn't know that Kip Winger IS Winger? Who doesn't still have a shrine in their bedroom?
