Bad, Bad Leroy Brown


I posted a Jim Croce song the other day - I've Got A Name - which is played to great effect in Quentin Tarantino's latest movie, 'Django Unchained'.

Well here's another memorable Jim Croce song - Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown - which must have pressed all the right buttons because Frank Sinatra covered it as well - although not with the same style and panache. 

Bad, Bad Leroy Brown

Well the south side of Chicago

It's the baddest part of town

And if you go down there, you better just beware

Of a man name of Leroy Brown


Now Leroy more than trouble

He stood about six feet four

All the downtown ladies call him: "treetop lover"

All the studs just call him Sir


He's bad (bad), bad (bad) Leroy Brown

baddest man in the whole damn town

Badder than old King Kong, and

Meaner than a junkyard dog


Now Leroy he a gambler

And he like his fancy clothes

He like to wave his diamond ring(s)

In front of everybody's nose


He got a custom Continental

He got a Eldorado too

He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun

He got a razor in his shoe


Yeah He's bad(bad), bad (bad) Leroy Brown

baddest man in the whole damn town

Badder that old King Kong

And Meaner that a junkyard dog


Well Friday - 'bout a week ago

Leroy's shootin' dice

And at the edge of the bar, sat a lady named Doris

and ooh she sure looked nice


Well he laid his eyes upon her

and the trouble soon began

And Leroy Brown he learned a lesson 'bout messin'

With the wife of a jealous man


Yeah He's bad (bad), bad(bad) Leroy Brown

baddest man in the whole damn town

Badder than old King Kong

And Meaner than a junkyard dog


He's bad (woo he's bad ), Leroy Brown

baddest man in the whole damn town

Badder than old King Kong

And Meaner than a junkyard dog

*ruff ruff*

LGB Rights - Hijacked By Intolerant Zealots!

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride. H/T @LGBNOW pic.twitter.com/HL87yIXXHg — Fred Sargeant (@FredSargeant) August 2, 2023 No doubt about it - the once proud campaign in support of lesbian and gay rights has been hijacked by intolerant trans zealots!

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
