TexasToest: You knew this was coming

Jim Dandy:  Well, I didn't know if it would be forthcoming, but I should have known you wouldn't leave me out on the cold.  Hahaha!  AND, I have a story about that song......

Back in the dark ages, my brother played lead in a band.  They were practicing in our living room one afternoon, and a guy who worked for our dad came over for some reason.  The guys were practicing that song, Taxman. 

Well, this guy was rather obese, and he had evidently never heard the song before.  He thought they were singing Fatman, and got all puffed up about it.  I honestly don't know if he ever got straight with that.  When he left suddenly the way he did, it never occurred to us until my mom told us. 

Nivabef:  Thanks for the link to Antigone Rising.  I'm maybe behind the times, but I'd never heard them before. 

TexasToest: really? I can see it being mistaken for "saxman" and running the risk of offending a sax player.I don't see how they could hear fat,unless of course the singer had a lisp

Jim Dandy:  You have to admit the accoustics aren't the best in the living room of a suburban tract home.  You couldn't hear anything clearly but the instruments.  Plus, there is something to be said about the sensitivity of the person who is insecure about his weight anyway, and his lack of familiarity with the "music of the day".  

TexasToest: Most likely he could not understand the words. When I first started listing to the group Newsboys in the 90's, it was months before I could understand the words! LOL

Eriisa:  Yeah, that's kinda what I was saying, except when you have studio equipment, everything is clearer.  When you have a 4 piece band in the living room, you can hear lots of stuff, but not a lot of detail.  I can assure you this man had never heard any music from the Beatles' Revolver at that point in time, if ever.  This was back in 1966, and it had just been released that summer (3 days before my birthday.....is that why I've made my career in taxation? - it's the BEATLES' fault, [exp] them).

TexasToest: You made a career in Taxation?

TexasToest: You made a career in Taxation?

TexasToest: I agree,many a song I have been on another planet entirely when it comes to what I hear and what's actually written.I can understand his sensitivity,but I hope they all shared a good laugh after the misunderstanding was clarified

In the meantime,let there be rock!,I'm the kid wearing the horns
