I misread "Morris," thinking it was "Mathis."
Johnny Mathis had the most distinctive voice in the entertainment industry, in my opinion. He had a hit in every decade of his recording career, and his greatest hits album spent 490 continuous weeks on the Billboard albums chart.
Am I a fan? Maybe a little bit. 
He sang in Great Falls Montana on Friday, and will sing in Spokane Washington today.

I avidly watched The Really Wild Show in my youth, and Terry Nutkins was quite a character - helped make the programme fun as well as fascinating.

He had a real gift, then. He will be missed.

My favourite gag so far this year has been something I saw on that other social network, the one with the books and the faces. It was a satirical article relating that the next Game of Thrones book is going to be delayed (again), because George RR Martin is busy writing 2016.

the best one I've seen was on Twitter over the weekend where the hashtag #Shakespeare400 was being used to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death. It was something like
"first Bowie, then Prince, now Shakespeare's dead?"

I thought he had died years ago.
I've enjoyed almost everything I've seen him in.

That IS weird - I just saw a news pop-up about Mr Garner earlier today. I know some of our agencies are a bit slow, but SHEESH !

This did occur to me
Funniest one for me was a photo of a serious newsreader on facebook saying that there was more bad news from the world of popular music...
Kanye West has been found alive and well in his apartment.

I have trouble taking Mr. Wets seriously when his face is so odften on tabloid covers in conjunction with the Kardashians.
