@JohnLovesJulie It’s been *very* common here in North America (Canada, specifically, in my case) for at least three or four years. In all that time I have used it maybe twice in translations (quotes in press releases, IIRC).

@ThatEricAlper “I have no idea to this day what those two italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some things are better left unsaid. I like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can’t be expressed in words and makes your heart ache. . . .”

@iampoofer @phish My first show after the comeback. The second Fluffhead of 3.0., which prompted grown men to whoop, cry and hug. I had a great time.

@CBCDrive Heya Rich, here's a Distant Cousins submission for you. Just heard you play Valence & Ariane Roy's "Charlie" and I find that piano intro is awful close to that of the Strolling Bones' "Loving Cup," from Exile on Main Street. I can't be the only one. . . - Michael in Mtl
