Sounds about right.h/t The Score*To Godspeed You! Black Emperor's "Dead Flag Blues."The car is on fire, and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides and a dark wind blowsThe government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs with the radio on and the curtains drawnWe're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to deathThe sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their polesIt went like this
The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies
Picked through the rubble and pulled out their hairThe skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange hazeI said, "Kiss me, you're beautiful, these are truly the last days"
You grabbed my hand and we fell into it
Like a daydream or a feverWe woke up one morning and fell a little further down
For sure it's the valley of death
I open up my wallet and it's full of blood

After a dominant performance in the Western Conference Final, Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne has looked overmatched, giving up eight goals on 36 shots in just over 100 minutes this series.All of this is to say, they probably are going to bring the Stanley Cup to Tennessee. If the Penguins win Game 3, they are definitely going to bring the Stanley Cup to Tennessee. The guy with the blonde hair and white gloves is gonna be all over it.I know, I know—this is not exactly what Billy Ray Cyrus meant when he recently penned the song "Bring the Stanley Cup to Tennessee". What about the lyrics? In many ways, it's a standard country song, in many ways it's a country song that reflects Nashville's now sad hopes of stopping Sidney Crosby, Geno Malkin, and Jake Guentzel en route to a franchise-first Stanley Cup. Let's dive in*.
