The Ramones would have had "Burger King" mentioned on three straight albums had they not dropped the ball between those two albums on Rocket to Russia.
"But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), "didn't you say the same thing about the Celtics and the Lakers?"
Sigh. Yes I did, faithful readers, YES I did:
One of the greater tragedies in the history of the NBA is that the Lakers inexplicably didn't make it to the 1986 Finals, where they would've faced the best team I had ever seen, the Celtics. That would've meant that after 1987 they would've met four straight times, and probably splitting at 2-2 and spinning the argument into more of a fever re: who was better, Bird or Magic etc. Playing the Rockets was an anti-climactic, blah affair for that Celtics team.
