Out of Bounds With Insulin & r & Connect Northwest's Bill Kalivas ("The Dan Dickau Song") and musician Dan Spalding have combined to create a parody of Sting's "Roxanne" called "Morrison": "You'll score 40 points tonight / Your blood sugar's just right ... No team can defeat us / Even with your diabetes." Intrusive and tasteless? But Kalivas' brother, like Adam Morrison, suffered from diabetes -- and Kalivas' brother died. The battle against the disease, however, goes on, and "Morrison" is a fun way of raising awareness. Visit www.impro.biz.
