A friend told me about a poll from ESPN that 47 out of the 50 states hate the New York Yankees. This song is bumping on the radio in most of the country, and its almost as if they are being forced to revel in the Yankees victory. It just goes to show that New York is the “Center of the Universe” :)
I say we should just enjoy both songs. Sinatra’s will always be a timeless classic and I think its great that we are watching a classic anthem in the making. It’s crazy to watch history being made right in front of our eyes. I think Jay-Z’s timing is absolutely incredible in that he didn’t feel the need to write this song 5 or even 10 years ago and he waited until now.
I’m feeling all the New York love regardless, and it makes me proud of where I live :)
