Over at Post Apocalyptic Bohemian, a lovely birthday notice was posted for the ever wonderful Sarah Vaughan. If I had to choose one artist to spend all of eternity listening to, it would be Sassy. Seeing this posting prompted me to post this photo of Sarah's tombstone.....I'm sure you'll shake your head as I shook mine when I first saw this. Sarah was called Sassy, but to use that word in front of her name as an adjective, well, that's wrong. I'm the furthest thing from a grammarian, but that be a no-no. And don't get me started with DEVINE. For me, this is a horror, etched in stone.
That is shameful... we need to start a foundation to set this right. The "Sassy" was aprivate moniker...but the entire thing is a mess. This reminds me of why i am to be cremated.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out. You are lovlines personified.
She has always been my favorite. I was fortunate enough to catch The DIVINE One in concert, sat right in front of the stage. She was awesome, it was an incredible night. Afterwards, she waved at me!
ReplyDeleteI too was lucky to have seen her and she was amazing. poor thing, she shvitzed like a pig. i wanted to tell her to take the wig off.
ReplyDeleteShe waved at you Thom because she's knows you're SASSY!
