BS: Great Quote by Kenny Rogers re' singers

In this last Sunday's paper, when asked to elaborate on saying he didn't consider himself to be a really great singer as much as a good stroyteller:

My voice is raspy and crusty. I'm in tune most of the time, but there are people who do vocal gymnastics far better than I do. But sometimes the gymnastics get in the way of the familiarity of a song. A song tells a story. People want to hear the same lyrics again. They get used to the familiarity. There are singers, and there are people who can sing. I am one of those.

Right on, Kenny! He is enjoying a No. 1 country hit and a new platinum album for the first time since around 1983. Great comeback!

What's the difference between a singer and chewing gum??

You can get chewing gum off a mirror!!

You picked a fine time to leave me you bitch.

Four hungry children and the truck's in the ditch.

Can't remember the words... I had a long redneck rendition years ago. Always liked the smooth, laid back style of Kenny.

When housebreaking my Dachshund puppy (named Lucy), I would enjoy singing:

You picked a fine time to pee here, Lucille ...,

There was more, but it continues to get more gross.

Knew a priest who thought lyrics were "four hundred children and a crop in the field"
