Ahead of tonight's TheLastDance premiere, one Vogue editor reflects on the Chicago Bulls dynasty and how it helped define '90s-era style.
Some of the most vivid memories I have from my childhood were soundtracked by a song called “Sirius” by the Alan Parsons Project rock band. The synthesized melody has an almost psychedelic, jolting beat. When I hear it today, even the first note, my heart starts to pound and I completely light up inside like a kid again; I'm back at the edge of my seat inside the Chicago Stadium watching the Bulls storm out onto the basketball court.
“Sirius” was, and still is, the intro tune for the Chicago Bulls basketball team. If you are a Chicagoan born and raised like me, it’s something of a hometown anthem. For those of us who were lucky enough to be of an age where you witnessed the Bulls play from 1990 - 1998, it’s more than a theme song: it’s a canticle for one of the most almighty teams of all time.
I was around 7-years-old when I went to my first Bulls game. A total tomboy complete with a bob haircut, I was obsessed with playing basketball but not yet truly captivated by the magic of the players on my hometown team. I remember walking into the stadium with my Dad, not really knowing what to expect. We had just taken our seats when the lights shut off unexpectedly.
