The Minnesota Vikings select. He's a longtime NFL draft expert who's been sweating Vikings football since the Randy Moss era. Welcome to Thor Talks Purple.
Welcome into Thor Talks Purple. It's a Tuesday, so we have the sports stat on for a modest proposal. But, Joe, before we get into a modest proposal, last evening I went to a Bob Dylan concert. I'm curious, what's the best concert that you ever went to? Oh, God, um, I've been to a few.
Probably McCartney. 1990 in Ames, Iowa outdoors. First time I saw him. That's probably my top one. I saw him as Iowa. Yeah, he played Ames. In fact, in was it a Jack Trice? Oh, okay. I've been there a few times. McCartney Outdoors on a gorgeous night in Ames. And the McCartney show here at Target Field in 2014 or so was great too. But just because it was the first time I saw him, it was fantastic. That's probably my favorite.
My last non-sport, perhaps non-sports question of the show for you is, okay, so you do like the Minnesota Mount Rushmore. And everyone knows it'd be Prince and Bob Dylan, the first two. Who would you go with the second two? Music? No, just any Minnesota.
Oh.
Oh, God. I was going to say my third one from a music standpoint would be Paul Westerberg of The Replacements. I love The Replacements. Great, great band. And then the other one, Age, you got any thoughts?
I'm trying to think here. If it's not just music, there's got to be a couple actors.
I'm going just general. Just general? Yeah. I mean, like, so F. Scott Fitzgerald, I think, has got to be way up there in consideration. Well, what'd he do to you? How about Dave Winfield?
How did the Bob Dylan concert experience lead into the Vikings discussion?
How about some athletes? Have a little Jack Morris for you.
Oh, Paul Molitor? Yeah, Paul Molitor.
Joe Maurer?
I mean, you've got the St. Paul boys, yeah.
Certainly could put, certainly could, you know, some athletes. A couple of politicians, Walter Mondale, Hubert Humphrey, Charles Schultz, Peanuts. yep yeah and i i was a you know we were an mpr um because of my mom uh household when i was growing up so i i i like garrison keeler as well heard a lot of garrison keeler when when we were growing up i don't know if you go on mount rushmore but uh
I feel like it's very tough to create a Mount Rushmore, though, just based on celebrity. I feel like it needs to be, like, entertainment or music or, you know, film or different things. Because, I mean, that's a hard one if you're, like, just going to put four people on there.
I feel like you've got to have an actor or something. Like, what, Judy Garland's from Minnesota, right? I think so, yeah. Is Winona Ryder from Minnesota, too? Or am I making that up? I think she's named after... We're known in Minnesota. Josh Harden is, right?
Yeah, he's not making my Mount Rushmore.
Yeah, Josh is great. But I mean, yeah, I mean, there's a lot of very famous people. Now, some of them were born here and left, and we still try to claim them because that's how we roll. Yeah. So how was the concert? Because Bob's 80-something now, right?
It was, you know, people are like, oh, you're way far away and you can't see it. That was true. And it was sort of like, they sort of lit the stage up like it was like a speakeasy, like it was like sort of dimly lit. I mean, you could see down there, but you couldn't really see him that good. And then he wasn't, I had also heard this, he's not like playing his best songs, but like, I don't care. You're seeing like literally a living legend. He's a legend, yeah. So, yeah, I mean, like and the way that we did it, guys, it turned out that we had gotten these tickets weeks ago and it happened to fall the exact same time that the U.S. soccer game kicked off. So we were going back like, what do we do? And they said that they would lock our phones in the baggies or whatever, which, by the way, they did not end up doing.
