WALSH'S LAW

"We all get a little unwanted ketchup now and then."- Matt Walsh

(Although now, with a shortage of ketchup packets being reported in the United States, receiving ketchup could be a Good Thing!)

MUSICAL CONFUSION

I have an incredibly vivid childhood memory of being a little boy, and going to Macy's department store with my dad, who had taken me shopping for new clothes. As we were on our way to or from the boy's clothing department, we passed by the record section, and there was a big display of Simon and Garfunkel's new album which was on sale- I remember the album cover, and it had to have been "Bridge Over Troubled Water."

Being a kid, I didn't have much interest in the day's pop music, and neither did my dad, who was from a previous generation (his favourite was Nat King Cole). Papa patiently and carefully explained to me that they were two singers, the one on the bottom was named Simon, and the one on top was named Garfunkel, which is why they were called Simon and Garfunkel, and "why would parents ever name their kid Garfunkel? What a funny name to give your son!"

STEINMAN'S LAW

 “I’ve been called over the top,” songwriter Jim Steinman (who died on April 19th) once told the Washington Post. “How silly. If you don’t go over the top, you can’t see what’s on the other side.”
