“Christmas turns things tail-end foremost. The day and the spirit of Christmas rearrange the world parade. As the world arranges it, usually there come first in importance -- leading the parade with a big blare of a band -- the Big Shots. Frequently they are also the Stuffed Shirts. That's the first of the parade. Then at the tail end, as of little importance, trudge the weary, the poor, the lame, the halt, and the blind. But in the Christmas spirit, the procession is turned around. Those at the tail end are put first in the arrangement of the Child of Christmas.” WorldFirstsChildrenLittlesEndsBigsSpiritTurnsPoorChristianityBandShotsImportanceBlindShirtsTailsWearyArrangementsHaltParadesLameChristmas SpiritProcessionBig Shots Author:Bill Vaughan

“The Animals were their own worst enemy. The Animals were a band that couldnt live up to their name. I was the singer in the band and as long as I was enjoying myself I would keep on working with the band. But it got to be rather nasty once the big money showed up - things started to turn toxic.” LongBigsTurnsNamesEnjoyAnimalEnemyWorstBandSingersToxicNastyWorst Enemy Author:Eric Burdon
