I've never heard of him, really, but it's always sad when someone pasts away, innit?
I just realised that there's this traditional English pub around my neighbourhood that's called Old Brown Shoe . I really wish I were of legit age, because their fish and chips look really good…

the great boxing legend Joe Frazier passed away. So sad. 🙁
That is sad, mith. When I was a kid, boxing was something I watched just to hear it called by Howard Cosell. It was exciting listening to him call fights involving Ali, Frazier, Norton, Foreman. I no longer watch the sport, but remembering all those guys brings back memories. When one of them passes, it's like a bit of my childhood passing with it – not to the extent of how I felt when John and George died, but similar.
To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

Fish and Chips place, right? Not Frazier dying?
I've never heard of Joe Frazier and I don't follow boxing, but like 909 said, I feel sorry when anyone dies, particularly if I know people, like Zig in this case, who are affected. I'm sorry, Zig. Losing a bit of your childhood is kind of scary.

Offline Yes *bangs head* I'm sorry for making it unclear. I can't just help but smile whn I hear anything about “Old Brown Shoe “, it's my favorite George song, perhaps.

Offline Haha yeah, I love it too. I'm tempted to ask the owners if they like the Beatles.
Well, they have to.

I'd love to have a pub near me with the same name as a beatles song. Would definately be my regular. I wonder if Old Brown Shoe is played when they close at night. If not it should become their signature tune. I wonder what other Beatles songs would make great names for Pubs.
Im not a boxing fan but i know a little about it and Joe Frazier was a legend. Sad he passed away, and so quickly too.

Offline Some of the radio stations I listen to have ALREADY started playing Christmas music, and even though I celebrate Christmas, and actually love Christmas, I like my seasonal music to actually BE seasonal, as in the week of the holiday, not IN FREAKING NOVEMBER. I'll have to stop listening to these stations now, because if I hear “Santa Claus is Coming To Town” and similar stuff on endless repeat for 2 months straight, I will impale myself on a Christmas tree.
On the subject of radio, my second-favorite classic rock station turned into a right wing talk show channel without warning about a week ago, so my station options have become extremely limited. Couldn't they have warned us? “Sorry, guys, today is our last broadcast, hope you enjoyed listening over the years,” or something? But no, I turn on the radio expecting to hear Lynyrd Skynyrd or something, and I get “Obama is a liar, and he is duping the people of this great country into believing that…”
Sorry about the rant, but I miss my radio stations.

Offline Ahh November!! Buying christmas trees, putting your decorations up, the excitement of opening door 3 of the 55 day advent calendar. Doesnt sound right somehow.
More realistically is walking straight back out of a shop because a really crap version of Last Christmas is playing.
When did it become almost impossible to watch ITV in the UK? Its filled with soaps, talent shows, documentaries hosted by 'celebrities' with no idea what they are talking about, and adverts that last nearly the length of the programme you wanted to watch. The only way to watch it is to Sky+ the show and then fast forward thru it.

Offline That's funny. I traveled to Dallas Tx 5 years ago the week before Christmas and I found very delighful to listen all those Christmas songs on the radio.
But of course, I listened them only for 4 days LOL!!

Offline My Mom is one of the people who really gets into (certain) holidays. Our house is blasting Halloween music from the first crisp wind of fall until the beginning of November, and then it's Christmas music until January.
For those who think it rude to forget Thanksgiving, tell me a single 'Thanksgiving' themed song that won't make me gag on my turkey- until then, November's Christmas music.

Am I the only one who sees the irony in an anti-Thanksgiving post by someone who calls themself CranberrySauce?
I have to agree, though – can't think of one T-giving song that is good, bad or otherwise. Most radio staions I know that play non stop Christmas music start doing so on the day after Thanksgiving. I can tolerate that. But if there are those doing it already, I'm with seaglass eyes in that it's waaaaaaaaay too soon.

Offline Zig, I wander the impression you didn’t listen to radio anymore. To many times them playing Dude Looks Like A Lady. And anyways, didn’t you say Maine radio sucks? And that you heard The Long And Winding Road on the Soft Rock station?
But, unrelated, but not by much, I do believe I have a Thanksgiving parody around here somewhere. Oh, you forgot it, that’s why.

agree. and not just the music. Christmas catalogues from supermarkets are already out. I like Christmas, but it's starting to get commercialised (or what's that word.? 
) …
