Anyway, need to catch up with Quizzy Monday.

On that theme, who can forget the immortal Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack duet “Tonight I Sellotape my Glove to You”. Once heard, never unheard.

Spoiler

Some sources claim that they are both the result of things misheard – in Paddy MacAloon’s case “peppered sprout” from a Johnny Cash song and in Jack White’s case, Salvation Army. I think the second has more truth, but anyway, those origin stories are both out there.

What connects Prefab Spout to Seven Nation Army?

You know, almost everything I have written in the last few pages will be nonsense to almost everyone. Even to me.

How are things in Walecestershire?

Should have been Daniel (think about it…)
