Neither Julio Iglesias nor Barbra Streisand can sing the blues.

I remember this when it first was posted to the net about 15-20 years ago. I just re-found it and it’s just as funny.

This reminds me of one my absolute most favoritist cartoon from the New Yorker, from the mid-70s.

The drawing was of an elegant middle-aged wasp woman, hair up, pearls, fancy-dress gown, sitting at a piano with her eyes closed and her mouth wide open. Behind her, in the well-appointed room, was a fat-cat industrialist husband sitting in an easy chair with a pipe and a newspaper. The man is saying to the woman:

"No, Pamela, you do not have a right to sing the blues."

I love love love it.

Yeah, except Asthmatic Kiwi Fillmore was a bay area folk rock group in the 60's. Remember, they used to open for Big Brother and the Holding Company?

Someone ought to write a country version of these guidelines. My all-time favorite country lyric (sung by a guy who had been kicked out by his woman then been replaced) "I know he's sleepin' in my bed/I know he's pettin' my dog's head."

A much easier read than kit_holliday's references to the huaman posts.

Saw it before. Still made me laugh.
