Edwin McCain V. Football
A fine encapsulating moment for the night: There is a room full of
gawking teenagers fawning over Edwin McCain in the front of the room.
In the back there is a huddling cluster of adults saucer-eyed at the
Florida/Tennessee Game. The score is 28 Fl, 27 TN. There are a lot of
tense Tennessee fans in the room. Response to Edwin has been pretty
tepid the whole night. It is, after all, not 1996. Applause has been
sparse and "whoots" have been scattered. Out of nowhere Tennessee
scores a winning 3 points at the very moment Edwin starts that
"convenience of my solitude" song. The crowd goes apeshit with
applause and cheers. "Thank you very much," says Edwin.
