strong people hip-hop
The big change was reggae and hip-hop, which came along after Split Enz had started. When Bob Marley first visited New Zealand, he lit a fuse that is still burning very brightly. The Maori people particularly honor reggae music in a very big way. So there is a strong reggae scene and a strong hip-hop scene, especially among Samoans. There's still plenty of quirky stuff around. No one expects to make much money here, so it definitely does encourage an underground sense.

drive fans favor great hope love miserable return sorry watch
That drive home. It wasn't fun.... We're sorry we didn't come over there and look better. We hope your fans come over to see the game... We like our place to be a great place to watch a game, but a miserable place to play. We'd love to return the favor this year.
finding good matter skill worked
I was told they had some good skill people, like we do. It's just a matter of finding and working with the linemen. It's not something that's going to come overnight. We'll get it worked out.
ahead gave ourselves
We killed ourselves (with penalties). We could have been ahead more but we let them come back and once we gave up the lead, we couldn't answer. We let down our intensity, and that was probably the most disappointing thing.

It's a non-stop invention, this game of life, and as soon as you think you've got it, you lose it.
band plays
We are a band that plays for each other, with each other, and of each other.

I've got kids now and they will constantly pull you into the here and now - they are very present and very vivid.
