SAY IT AIN'T SO JOE

[dirtyfaz]

I was watching an episode of Pawn Stars on TV the other night and a guy can into the store and tried to sell a Joe Jackson autographed book called Say It Ain't So Joe. It turned out the signature was most likely a fake but anyway I said to my partner that the Hollies recorded a song called Say It Ain't So Joe. She was very ho hum about it not caring at all. It got me thinking if this saying from the book had anything to do with the Murray Head song. I looked up the lyrics and sure enough it was the basis for the tune. Ok well we all know a few people cover the tune including Roger Daltry.
"Shoeless" Joe Jackson was a baseballed who was accused of throwing a baseball game.
Wikepedia explains more about the song but I thought it was an interesting story so I am sharing. Not much else happening here lately.
