N.E. Brigand Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 BD gets minus points for ending a sentence with "on" and having an awkward show title. As Dreams are Made On . . . ########. Hope that is better grammar for you. Also that's just a really old joke when someone says they don't end sentences on prepositions. The joke is often attributed to Winston Churchill--although I've never seen it definitively sourced--who is said to have responded to a complaint about his having ended a sentence with a preposition with this retort: "This is the sort of English up with which I will not put." It's fine to end a sentence with a preposition. The "rule" against doing so is really meant to encourage people not to add prepositions where they are redundant, e.g.: Don't say, "Where are you going to?" Say instead, "Where are you going?" Don't write, "Where are the Blue Devils rehearsing at?" Simply write, "Where are the Blue Devils rehearsing?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStainGlass Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Same top 12 as last year with same champion finishing off the 3peat. The middle 7-9 won't be the same with groups dropping out of top 6 and 10-12 groups moving up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.E. Brigand Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Actually not bad music in a nostalgic way... I prefer a number of other Perry Como songs to that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Don't say, "Where are you going to?" Say instead, "Where are you going?" OMG, Evita got it wrong! ("Another Suitcase in Another Hall", aka the drum corps traveling song....) Poetic license! While that song is from Evita, it may be worth noting that Evita herself was not the singer in the original concept album / stage musical. Rather it was performed by "Perón's Mistress". But in the movie they gave it to Madonna (I remember one film critic grumbling about that). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
