Talk:On the Turning Away

message: So while Tony is the only one getting any credits for playing bass, it seems he may not have played on this song. Quote (taken from here and here):
Often recording his bass parts alone in the studio control room, Gilmour has played the Charvel fretless on a number of tracks over the years, including On The Turning Away for the 1987 Pink Floyd album A Momentary Lapse of Reason and High Hopes, Poles Apart and Coming Back To Life for the band’s 1994 album The Division Bell.

Talk:On Top of Old Smoky

message: The title of this entry says "On Top of Old Smoky" - is that a typo?
Shouldn't it be "Smokey"?
Thanks!
According to writingexplained.com , prior to the invention of Smokey the Bear as an advertising symbol, all usages of Smoky were spelled without the "e". Smokey the Bear was intentionally misspelled, in order to differentiate the character from smokiness. The Great Smoky Mountains are spelled without an "e". I am unable to find any references to a geographical feature that might be Old Smoky Mountain, Ole Smokey Mountain, or anything similar. As far as I can see, the only proper use of "On Top of Old Smokey" would be in quoting someone else's misspelled title. The earliest collected version of the song, 1913, was simply titled "Old Smoky". The two most popular recordings of the song, by the Weavers and by Burl Ives, were both titled "On Top of Old Smoky" - all without the "e". I would have to conclude that the title of this entry is spelled correctly (Smoky) while the song is consistently misspelled (Smokey) throughout the text of the article.Ramseyman (talk) 23:45, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

message: Examples:
*"It was initially kept a secret that the band had incorporated elements of "Teenage Kicks" into the track, with a bogus cover only stating "One Way or Another" being released. However, after the song leaked online in full on February 5, 2013, twelve days before its official release, the band were forced to reveal that the track was in fact a mash-up with "Teenage Kicks". The single's cover and title were then updated to "One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks)"." Trivial--why does this bear mentioning in an encyclopedia article on the song "One Way or Another"? Seems like fancruft, not so much of One Direction but of the marketing of One Direction.
*" Filming also took place in Toyko, Japan, while the band attended a press conference and performed in the region." [italics added] Again, why do we need the excess trivia?

message: Due to its Catholic references, the song met resistance on certain radio stations, but the attention helped album sales.(already sourced in lead)  When the song was banned at Seton Hall University (Sourced to Bordowitz via Performing Songwriter magazine) Joel wrote a letter to the president of the university thanking him for the notoriety and asking him to ban the rest of his songs.  In the late 1970s, while planning a trip to the University of Notre Dame, Joel signed a contract with the university stating that the only song he would not be allowed to play was "Only the Good Die Young".  Consequently, Billy Joel played the song six times in a row, and changed the lyrics to include references to "Notre Dame and Saint Mary's Girls."  As a result, Joel was banned from playing at the University  Joel also reportedly received death threats if he played the song at a concert in St. Louis - he responded by playing the song twice.
What I really wanted to know is...where did the saying come from. The bit about Billy Joels' song is nice, but the saying was already there in history. So...who said that and why do we more or less agree that this must be true. For example, God in His all knowing position would never take someone away from us incorrectly. Therefor you could not die young unless God thought it was the very best thing that could happen. Anyway I was watching Andy Griffith and He used the saying so I believe this episode I'm wathcing came before Billy Joel. 204.116.223.232 (talk) 23:55, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Although a country music fan, the experience of seeing Presley's bloated appearance vis-à-vis his historic looks left a lasting impression that almost 20 years later led to her writing a book about the music legend.
I happen to be reading Nash's Revelations compendium right now. This says: On August 16, 1977 . . . the Louisville Courier-Journal, for which I freelanced as the pop music critic, telephoned to say that Elvis Presley was dead. . . . John and I were standing in the press pool in front of Graceland when Presley's head of security, Dick Grob, came out with a bullhorn, stood directly in front of us, and announced, "Any members of the press who want to view the body line up behind these two." / So in we went (pp. xix–xx). And there's no particular epiphany -- none related there, at least -- when she sees the stiff, other than that his partly-snowy sideburns needed redying black.
