WOW!!!

To Robert Cass

There is a saying that goes â€œIf you ainâ€™t got nothing good to say about anything or anyone then donâ€™t say anything at allâ€

Maybe before you posted whatever you posted you should have done some research on who originally wrote and sang the songs I shot the Sheriff and Stir it up. It is certainly not who you think. Both those songs were written by Bob Marley.

Since you couldnâ€™t simply Google that info, please buy the actual CDâ€™s by Eric Clapton and Johnny Nash and read the credits to find out who wrote those songs.

“Speaking of TV theme songs and outright lies …”

For the record, I thought that was a dead giveaway.

It's all in good fun, Robert, but sarcasm doesn't always translate. I do know that Marley wrote “I Shot the Sheriff” and “Stir It Up” and that “Red Red Wine” is a Neil Diamond song that isn't the same as the Replacements' song of the same name. And Johnny Nash isn't Johnny Cash, though I kept waiting for Joaquin Phoenix to break into “I Can See Clearly Now” in “Walk the Line,” all to no avail.

I also know that Bob Marley isn't Jimmy Cliff. I am a very white American, but I can tell the difference between two famous Jamaicans. Enjoy the music if you haven't heard this particular bootleg before, and thanks for writing.

Or was that Jimmy Smith?

No no, it was Jimmy McGriff.

Either way, none of them are any Mark Barkan. (Thanks Wiki!!!)

Yes I'm screwing around. I'll stop now.

Damn! Fantastic. I'm gonna go with “Who-Is-Named-Roger- And-Doesn't-Read-English-Well” for $500 Alex.

But hey, he brought up Jimmy Cliff! (Of course I think you guys also did a little while ago, but still – JIMMY CLIFF!!!!

Yeah, I was right. Thanks for the confirmation — but a simple “yes, I am a humorless douche” would have sufficed.
