Cliff's Song of the Day

Link to post: https://app.crucialtracks.org/profile/cliff/20250723

"Mama, I'm Coming Home" by Ozzy Osbourne

Listen on Apple Music (https://music.apple.com/us/album/mama-im-coming-home/209694881?i=209695192)

Today's song is an easy one to post due to us losing a true legend of a musician and human yesterday. Mama, I'm Coming Home by Ozzy is the song I'm listening to more than anything today via my playlist. Just one of my all time favorites by the Prince of Darkness!

[Verse 1]
Times have changed and times are strange
Here I come, but I ain't the same
Mama, I'm coming home
Time's gone by, it seems to be
You could have been a better friend to me
Mama, I'm coming home

[Pre-Chorus]
You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized, yeah
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes

[Verse 2]
You made me cry, you told me lies
But I can't stand to say goodbye
Mama, I'm coming home
I could be right, I could be wrong
It hurts so bad, it's been so long
Mama, I'm coming home

The original version of Robin Hood did not give to the poor. He was a folk hero not because he helped the poor but just because he harassed the rich - robbing corrupt bishops and abbots, humiliating sheriffs, and poaching the king's deer on the royal reserves.

Just come across this legend (again) saved on a HDD. Gets posted often, but there always someone who hasn't seen it.

A monk named Modomnoc is said to have introduced bees to Ireland in the 6th century, #travelling by boat from Wales Native Irish words about bees emerged at this time such as beach (bee), mil (honey) & míodh (mead) #FolkloreThursday #Legend #Speirgorm #InsectThursday #IrishLanguage #Nature me

I only just found this blog post by @keefmarshall from late 2024 about the origins of bonk wave! it's a fun read! https://words.key13.uk/thats-not-bonk-wave

I've been reading a lot about pop music genius Brian Wilson (RIP) lately (can also highly recommend the biopic 'Love and Mercy'). Anyway. One of the many things I learned: Brian hated business meetings.

He had a theory: people are more 'themselves' and less likely to con you if they're in their swimming trunks. So, he invited them to formal meetings in his swimming pool. Apparently, it worked most of the time.

And when it didn't, he would start splashing them.

Can I just say that I'd LOVE to have a swimming pool right now? Both for cooling down and for business meeting purposes.

Wouldn't it be nice...
