DID Y'EVER NOTICE...
...many of the best songwriters in modern music really can't sing worth a whit?
Randy Newman. Burt Bacharach (UGH). Leon Russell.
Still others are merely okay. Irving Berlin could sing, but he had a HORRIBLE New York accent that didn't go away when he sang.
O-vah THEHHHHH. O-vah THEHHHHHHH.
...that whenever there's a cop behind you while you're driving, you find yourself wondering how many months ago you had your last alcoholic drink?
...that some people will go positively out of their way to deny they ever lived/worked/existed somewhere? I know a guy who I worked with here in town from about 1980 to 1982. He was a popular award-winning ad writer here until about 1984 when he went to an agency in California and promptly wrote the "California Cooler" "Papa Oom Mow Mow" commercials and suddenly Clios started flying out of his ass.
He now says he's been in the business for 25 years -- conveniently forgetting several years he was here and at other agencies prior to that In California.
