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. smiley - biggrin

He sang in Great Falls Montana on Friday, and will sing in Spokane Washington today.

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.

Sho - employed again!

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?"

This did occur to me smiley - biggrin

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.
