Bruce Hornsby’s Kid Can Dunk With Alacrity

All, College Basketball, Music, Video Jason McIntyre October 18th. 2011, 11:56am

Here’s Keith Hornsby, son of the music great Bruce Hornsby, throwing down a few dunks at UNC Asheville’s Midnight Madness. This is probably the first of three Big South college basketball posts this season. The other might come Nov. 13th when the Bulldogs open the season against North Carolina. I’d assume a third one will come in February/early March. Unless another 7-foot-7 player turns up in the conference, then all bets are off. [via Rush the Court]

Best Bruce Hornsby song ever? It’s this one, no doubt.

On my ipod. For awhile in 2010, it was among my “25 most played” on my ipod. Had a good night drinking with friends at the beach and it got in the rotation for awhile.

I think Tom Brady should go for the “Bruce Hornsby” next.

Never in a million years would have known he sang that song. I would’ve bet John Fogerty or Bob Seger.

Two young gents in my Sunday school class played on the same high school team as Hornsby’s son. I used to go to their games and think to myself that he could flat out play. Don’t ever remember him dunking, but he looks good.

While Hornsby isn’t my thing, he has had a long and successful career. Dude even played the keys with the Dead for a few tours.

Considering that he sang this song when he was 16. pretty much sums it up.

I haven’t heard of half the names you guys mentioned. Steve Winwood is the only one I’ve ever heard of. Bruce Hornsby could fall on me with a shirt that says, “HI, I’M BRUCE HORNSBY” and I still wouldn’t know who he is.

Some of the more unusual musical pairings I’ve see are Kenny Rogers and Wyclef Jean with The Gambler remix, and Eddie Vedder with the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan in the Dead Man Walking soundtrack.

im betting grizzly because of the whole “in college/broke” thing. and it becomes habit.

There’s an old story of Bruce Hornsby narrowly beating a 13-year old Allen Iverson in a Northern VA pick-up game. Bruce used to get after it on the hard courts. Seriously.

Bruce Hornsby pretty much gave “End of the Innocence” to Don Henley. Much as I like The Way It Is and Mandolin Rain (BH did a great version of this tune with bluegrass master Ricky Skaggs), End of the Innocence is the one that will stand the test of time.
Oh, and baseball players not chewing tobacco is like strippers without fake boobs. Just can’t happen.

A few years back, 15 of my golf buddies and I had the pleasure of all sitting together on a flight, with Hornsby being the only stranger seated in the middle of all of us. Smoked, we all started humming, and then singing, The Way It Is and he finally said “fuck it” and joined in. For that reason, he will always be better than Steve Winwood.
