Knack_-_My_Sharona_single_picture_cover.jpg
The Knack were a Los Angeles-based rock band that rose to fame with their first single, "My Sharona", in 1979 (see 1979 in music) from their debut album, Get the Knack. "My Sharona" was an international hit that earned the band comparisons to The Beatles. Music critics hated disco, which dominated the music industry at the time, and were, at best, coolly receptive to other developing trends like hip hop and heavy metal music. The Knack's power pop and hard rock influences earned them much critical credibility. After subsequent albums, though, the backlash against The Knack led to their break-up. They have since re-united and in 2001 put out their studio album Normal As The Next Guy and their live DVD Live From The Rock N'Roll Funhouse. They continue to tour and thrill fans with their high energy rock and roll performance.
The song "My Sharona" was later parodied by the Dead Kennedys with the song "Pull My Strings" which included lines such as "I'll make my music boring, I'll play my music slow, I ain't no artist, I'm a business man, No ideas of my own".
Singer Doug Feiger, a native of Detroit, Michigan, had previously played in a country rock band called Sky.

NBA finals matchups
STEVE ASCHBURNER • SASCHBURNER@STARTRIBUNE.COM CENTERS It's a good thing Shaquille O'Neal shed those celebrated 25 pounds under orders from coach Pat Riley. Not only did it help O'Neal and the Heat to have a more spry Shaq in the previous rounds, but he will have to play a more mobile, athletic game if he's going to keep up with the Mavericks. Pushing the pace is only one of the tactics Avery

Wade shuns comparison to Jordan
MIAMI – The comparisons leave Dwyane Wade sheepish. He knows they’re almost inevitable, though. Wade hails from Chicago and grew up a Bulls fan. A Bulls jersey with the number 23 hangs in his arena. His acrobatic, high-flying moves are reminiscent of a certain six-time NBA champion. His body is sleek, muscular. And he has that uncanny knack of taking games over when his team needs it most.
