Ringo Starr recently kicked off his hometown Liverpool’s year as the European Capital of Culture with a live performance of Liverpool 8 in front of 20,000 people. Coincidentally, this week I booked a nine-day trip to England and Amsterdam for next month that’ll take me to the Capital to see Liverpool host Inter Milan in a crucial Champions League fixture. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime trip, the best team in Italy against the most historic in England; and the two clubs haven’t met since a controversial two-leg affair in the same tournament in 1965. Color me Scouse.
I imagine you don’t care terribly about this information, but as you look back at the week that was here at Hidden Track, know that your ol’ pal Ace is looking forward…

Hey Ace, drop me a line. Seem to have lost your e-mail about meeting up in Amsterdam.
