"Hurricane" Bob Dylan 1975 Columbia There have been a couple of boxing Sportsongs of the Week already. They are all songs that tell a story. Some happy, but more of them are sad stories. Sportsong of the Week #27 is also from the latter kind. It was on the list to get a feature for quite some time already. When a friend of mine was listening to Bob Dylan this weekend, heard the song and sent it to me, it was time to give it it's deserved place. So here it is: 'Hurricane' by

Money, 2015 Sometimes a little self promotion is allowed right? Besides starting Art Loves Sport to promote everything sportart, I also make art myself. Collages of newspapers, pictures, magazines accompanied by music lyrics or other written texts. Signing them with my alias Gerrit P. Last week I opened my first expo at Tolbar Amsterdam.
