Finals for this year's Gravity Games on NBC. This highly commercial display of the
"extreme sports" is the last place I'd expect to hear a Smiths or Morrissey
song, but I got a pleasent surprise. During an Olympic-like piece of some of
the riders, "How Soon Is Now" came on when talking about Dave Mirra and how
he missed the finals. The song played for a while, and it was nice to see
some coverage of Dave Osato for a change on the BMX scene. I guess I see now
why there are all those Morrissey and Smiths shirts in some bike and
skateboard magazines and stuff.
