His name was never pushed forward (as I recall) half as much as some others of the same ilk.<br />:-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-59096736663127645152010-05-04T09:31:19.569-05:002010-05-04T09:31:19.569-05:00Interestingly, one of Billy Joel's hits "...Interestingly, one of Billy Joel's hits "She's Always a Woman" has hit the headlines this week in the UK as it is the theme tune of the latest TV commercial for John Lewis. It's been re-recorded by Fyfe Dangerfield (no I've not heard of him either) who I think is the lead singer of a band called The Guillemots.<br /><br />It's now so popular with over 325,000 hits on YouTube that it has been released as a single and may well top the charts again. Here's the ad on YouTube.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYOsWWKHZVw&feature=player_embedded<br /><br />So good song never dies as they say.<br /><br />RRossahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121831076599069841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-2804947706562707482010-05-04T09:05:46.532-05:002010-05-04T09:05:46.532-05:00Shawn Carson ~~~ Oh my!

That must have been a very trying time for you all! <br /><br />I'm always wary of mentioning Algol, because it doesn't always indicate bad stuff. sometimes it simply seems to indicate a very passionate individual. But in the interests of finding out which bits of astrology seem to work best, I do mention it in cases like this.<br /><br />Your experience is another tick in the box, so thank you for telling about it.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-69311762348660343522010-05-04T09:01:40.621-05:002010-05-04T09:01:40.621-05:00WWW ~~~ I hadn't read about his daughter's...WWW ~~~ I hadn't read about his daughter's problems. That's very sad to know.
