Neither really apply.





But the concept of living somewhere in the middle came to mind the other night when we stumbled onto the topic of the Starting Line on this week's show. We'd hoped to do a quick, breezy 40 minutes on the most popular version of their "Best of Me" music video (there are more or less three distinct versions, depending on how far down you scroll on YouTube).

What we ended up getting into, however, was a bit of an impasse on the legacy of the band and the different things that probably hurt their standing as time moves forward.





(One last quick NBA thing before we move on: The Starting Line is probably the Orlando Magic or Memphis Grizzlies of early 2000s pop punk, even though geographically it would have made more sense and been more fun to call them the 76ers. The Sixers, of course, have become tanking pioneers. Because regional pairings are fun, here are a couple more: the White Stripes are probably the Chauncey Billups Pistons and the Strokes are probably the Jason Kidd Nets.)
