Kyle Hamilton, Tyler Loop, Zay Flowers react to Ravens’ 34-31 win over Cowboys in Brazil

Going through all of these memories from four decades ago of rock stars and concerts and the backstage access life gets a little cloudy so our resident rock star John Allen of Stone Horses came back to Pizza John's in Essex. Nestor surprised his lifer pal with a Child's Play blast from the #AlmostFamousNes music critic vault of the music memory bank and the receipts of local rock history. Tales of Kixmas, Russ Mottla and 98 Rock, Chrysalis Records and the hair era of the good old boys in East Baltimore making a mark on the world and the "Rat Race" of getting a video played on MTV.

We all know the winners write the history and when our pal Bill Cole went to Gettysburg and walked the battlefield, he had more questions than answers. Sometimes it's a field trip and a history lesson about war and peace and country and neighbors that strike up a Maryland Crab Cake Tour stop chat about being certain about the course of humanity and our future.

Though far from the disaster we watched early last year, the Baltimore defense has been closer to mediocre than great through four games.
