That darn Pope

Post by dougp »

After two John Pauls, why oh why did he not balance things out by taking the name "George Ringo I"??? (sorry ... I liked that one too much not to pass it on! No offence intended to Catholics, Papists, Christians in general, any other fans of the Pope and/or the Beatles, or anyone who's already hear that one a dozen times.)
My basses are Rickenbackers. My synthesizers and recording gear are analog.

First time I heard it. I'll be smiling for awhile at this one! Excellent. (Born a Catholic, now a Zen Buddhist. This week only.)

Yeah, he was a terrible "singer". Did a song called "Like a Tiger" back in '58 or so. Woulda made a lousy Pope, too, although he was Eyetalian.

Hahaha. Eyetalian. I say it that way to mess with my step-dad,(he's Italian) but I never thought of spelling it that way.
