Time was in this glorious biz we call Rock (Rawk) that we Brits were ordered to sing like Yanks in order to sell records. So we had the spectacle of a spotty youth from Droitwich singing 'No Particular Place to Go' without the benefit of ever having been in a car, let alone drive one (where is the Kokomo anyway?). Imagine trying this with an english place name? 'Last Train to Heckmondwicke'? '24 Hours to Tulse Hill'? You'd be laughed off stage. It was pathetic. I mean, the first Strat ever to be seen on these shores was bought by Cliff Richard** in 1959!
Anyway y'all, must be moseying along for some chow. You take care now !

Gotcha, now, Vernon. Thanks. See comment I left under all that Latin. All those years of Catholic school and still can't make sense of it. I purged.
Actually, I think the Patriots are more like Bolton.
They smother the opposition with their workmanlike approach, showing only occasional flashes of flair.
Hmm, good point. Why are they (the Patriots, not Bolton [as if] ) World champions? Which other countries were in the competition?
Well, I dunno, but there's a possibility you might be thinking of the World Series.
If so, that would be baseball, and it's the Red Sox that are World Champs in that event.
All of this prooves that you give less of a shit about American sports as we do about your football. But I enjoy reading you prattle on about it anyway providing you give me a clue now and then. Thanks very much for that.
