Thread Name: BS: Washington Crossing the Delaware
Subject: RE: BS: Washington Crossing the Delaware
Thanks for clarifying that, Steve. Every time I hear about a life-size sculpture of something (even though there are many such), what immediately pops into my mind is something I saw at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto, in 1965 (or thereabouts): it was a life-size sculpture of the Beatles...made out of butter. Hmmm...if Washington never crossed the Delaware, there wouldn't have been any "British invasion" in the 60s, right? No reason to invade your own country. So the boys would have stayed in Liverpool, and the New Christy Minstrels would never have recorded "I Want to Hold Your Hand" (check it out)
