Evster2012 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) damned if i can understand the negativity from the minority.......... Me neither. Circus or not, I think it's a great nod to Jimmy that such a presigious event would invite him. It's an honor! Oh, and just for fun Steve: For the benefit of Mr. Page There will be a show tonight on trampoline Leona Lewis will be there Late of Pablo-Fanques Fair, what a scene (Have you seen it? It's great, they got stuff.) Over men and horses hoops and garters Lastly through a hogshead of real fire! In this way Mr. P. will challenge the world! The celebrated Mr. P. Performs his feat on Saturday at Beijing Leona she will dance and sing As Mr. Page flies through the ring don't be late Messrs. P and L. assure the public Their production will be second to none And of course Henry The Horse dances the waltz! The band begins at ten to six When Mr. P. performs his tricks with magick sound And Miss L. will demonstrate Ten somersets she'll undertake on solid ground having been some days in preparation A splendid time is guaranteed for all And tonight Mr. Page is topping the bill.

Aquamarine Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 See, that's what I was afraid of, what with the dancing horses and all. But as long as it's possible to zone out all that other stuff and zero in on Jimmy, and Leona, it could be good--it could even be great. That's what I'm keeping my fingers crossed for.

slave to zep Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) i dont know why anyone is worried about " the other stuff", the dancers etc. the olympic ceremonies are all about good will, fun. it doesnt really matter what the performance contains, imo, its all good fun. LIVE entertainment. remember that? entertainment? thats what entertainers do. singers, dancers, GUITAR PLAYERS.................just sit back, watch, listen, and be entertained.

Yes, I know what entertainment is, thanks. Most of what's on tap here isn't what normally entertains me, but Jimmy's spot could be good enough to eclipse the rest, is my (positive) point. I'll be watching, Jimmy's segment anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel With A Broken Wing Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I am tickled PINK to hear this fantastic news, am waiting with bated (dragon) breath. Good songwriting Ev. I was just thinking that Paul McCartney and/or Ringo Starr should also make an appearance to represent England's greatest gift to the world, The Beatles.
