What's Playing on Matt Millen's iPod?
Matt Millen is doing the bull dance, feelin' the flow. After years of
scrutiny, criticism, and demands for his job from Detroit fans, Millen
is finally riding on easy street. The Detroit Lions are the Cinderella
story of the NFL and continue to improve. Well, Matt Millen is finally
starting to grin about his little brainchild. Most experts thought
that this would be the last straw for Millen, but he has risen to the
task. The team is barreling ahead with a winning record and barring a
complete collapse, we should see Detroit in the playoffs for the first
time since I got my driver's license.
Well, Millen is basking in his own self-indulgent glory and is ready
to take his pride and joy, the Ford Windstar, out for a cruise, pop on
some good tunes, and enjoy the sunshine. One of Millen's favorite
pastimes is his "me" time out in the Windstar cruising along some
windy roads and soaking up the master craftsmanship.
Surely everyone is wondering what the puppeteer behind the scenes of
the Detroit Lions success story is listening to to unwind. So, let's
all hop aboard the Windstar, sit back, and soak up the sounds of Matt
Millen.
Aerosmith - Livin' on the Edge
When Millen gets in the Windstar, it's time to get loose, baby. He
likes to put that roadster to the test. Whether that means putting the
pedal to the metal on I-94 or rolling down the windows and heading to
Flint, a little Aerosmith really pumps him up. It's not odd for him to
get a little Terets and yell out profanities in the ghetto. The
Windstar makes him feel just bulletproof.
Faith - George Michael
When George comes on, so do the sunglasses and off goes the shirt. Now
it's time to pick up the guys and head for Orange Mocha Frappuccinos.
When everybody doubted his bizarre front office moves, George Michael
told him time after time, "You Gotta Have A Faith A Faith A Faith."
Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper
The man loves wide receivers and Cyndi helped him make the right
decision. When everyone else said, "We need help in the secondary, the
line is too soft, and it's time for a franchise QB," Cyndi knew just
what to say to keep trying on the receivers. "If you fall, I will
catch you, I will be there. Time after time." Plus, Millen is
allegedly a big Captain Lou Albano fan and he stars in the video for
this 80s Millen fave.
Me Against the World - Tupac
"I got Nothin' Ta Lose, It's Just Me Against tha World Baby." When
Millen starts feelin' the G, he pumps up the subs and heads to 8 Mile.
Go ahead, move with it if ya need to. It helps me.
Road of the Righteous - Dropkick Murphys
This is one of Millen's wiser manipulations. He needed a tune to pump
up Kitna when he picks him up from Church on Sundays before the game.
This way they can rock out the Windstar and get pumped, while still
saluting the Lord.
Loner - Ekoostik Hookah
This is Millen's favorite singalong jams for a long road trip. He's
not about go get shitcanned and roll up to Wendys in the raw, but he
might spark a jib if he's got a long straightaway on Highway 80
through Nebraska on the way to Mile High Stadium. "I'm a Loner. I am a
Lo oh oh oooooh ner. Won't you please leave me alone... And you may
ask me, how did you get that tan Matt? I say out on the beaches of
life boy. Matt Millen on the lead guitar ladies and gentlemen, Wooo!"
Redemption Song - Bob Marley
When you lose it's all your fault. When you win, it the coach and the
players turning it around. Millen just can't win. This old standby
helps him clear his head after a tough bashing by the media and Fire
Millen signs Ford Field. The man needs redemption. "Emancipate
yourselves from mental slavery, None but ourselves can free our mind.
Won't you help to sing, These songs of freedom? - 'Cause all I ever
have - Redemption songs"
Manic Monday - The Bangles
Hey, how about a Monday Night game ESPN?
Your Song - Elton John
Finally, Millen likes to end every cruise with an introspective
tribute to his very most special friend, Calvin. Matt Millen is not
quick to forget the hardship it takes to find Mr. Right. Wide
receivers come a dime a dozen, but finding the one with the perfect
size, speed, work ethic, and selflessness to be a part of the best
receiving corps in the league - those come just once in a lifetime. "I
have ya don't mind. I hope ya don't mind. How wonderful life is when
you're in the world."
