“SONG 18: SCHEHERAZADE (TELL A STORY)
Tell my story, break the shame,
Why do you need someone to blame,
I wasn't evil or bad.
Tell the tale, save my life,
The life I should have had,
Sing for me, Scheherazade.
We were boys who loved our bodies,
Playing hard and fast,
We thought we would live forever;
Who knew - we were playing for keeps.
Tell my story, sing my song,
Ask yourself what's right or wrong,
Change the songs which went bad.
Tell my tale, take a chance,
The chance I should have had,
Sing for me, Scheherazade.
Tell the story of a story,
From zero hour to 12 am,
From the good to the bad;
Tell the tale, save my life,
The life I want to have,
Sing for me, Scheherazade.
We've been told a thousand stories,
None of them seems right;
It's time we told each other's stories,
A thousand nights.”

“He [Steve Ross] said he used to have the same prejudices against the game as most Americans: It was too slow, too "foreign," too difficult to understand what was really going on. But once he started watching the game, and had some friends explain it to him, he realized how fascinating soccer could be. He believed that it just needed the right conditions to thrive. In other words, he saw soccer like an entrepreneur, which of course was exactly what he was, and an excellent one at that. He spotted an unmet need, an undervalued asset, and made it his personal mission to make it succeed, come hell or high water. After the Cosmos struggled through its first few seasons, switching stadiums every so often and failing to generate much buzz, Steve purchased the team from its original investors for the grand price of one dollar. And then, for no good reason other than his own passion and drive, Steve decided to throw the entire commercial and marketing weight of Warner Communications behind the team. He would not only make the Cosmos a winner, but bring a "new" spectator sport to the American public.”
