Sing it: ‘Carson, don’t be a hero … ‘
CALLING ALL CINCINNATIANS:
REMEMBER ‘THE HEYWOODS?’
CHICKSTER DEDICATES THIS SONG
TO CARSON PALMER & HIS ELBOW
===LUDWIG AT LARGE would like to see a show of hands (in the form of comments on his blog): OK, how many of you FiftySomethings (like me) have seen Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods in concert in and around the Cincinnati area? I’d like to reprise their hit, “Billy Don’t Be A Hero,” by subbing the word “Carson” in place of “Billy.” Feel free to relay your most famous “Heywoods” story.===
This dedication goes out to Carson Palmer, who’s trying to be too much of a hero with his bum elbow:

Chick, I’m a fifty-something but I never heard of Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods…but then again, I don’t get out much… I’m writing to propose a solution to the Bengals farce, which I call “The Bengals Sanction.” That is, Hamilton County should evict them from PBS for violation of the terms of their lease (esp. the part about “fielding a professional football team”). That will effectively force Mike Brown out of town, at which point we can open the bidding for a real NFL franchise. All the best, JohnBy LB

Couldn’t agree more with your analogy between Carson and this video … he’s fake-singin the song just like Carson’s fake leadership … and the band is totally outta sync with the music!!By Ryan

The problem with John’s proposal is that we wouldn’t be awarded a franchise if we lost the current one. Too small of a market. Declining population center and income base.By Big Play

To my Prodigal Son, James: You’ve heard of the movie, “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.” Well, I’m “Forgetting Elizabeth Borland.” Or, at least, I’m trying to. and I ain’t got time for nothing else. Hopefully, all my Alter High School friends will get a kick out of that…Cheers! ChickBy Big Play
