nzoner 936 Posted September 13, 2019 Always like this one about one of my favorite Beatles songs The song’s original title was Hey Bullfrog. A few days before the group recorded the track, Paul played drums on a Paul Jones rocker called The Dog Presides, which featured barking sound effects. During The Beatles’ session, Paul and John ended up barking, woofing and howling as they ad-libbed over the song’s finale, and the title was subsequently changed to Hey Bulldog. “I remember ‘Hey Bulldog’ as being one of John’s songs and I helped him finish it off in the studio, but it’s mainly his vibe. There’s a little rap at the end between John and I. We went into a crazy little thing at the end.” – Paul McCartney Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never got the "up to" thing. I mean, I can just as easily say that UP TO 5 trillion dollars is wagered illegally on sports every year and I'm just as correct as the AGA.

See your point,I've always looked at it like I'm in a town of only 70,000 and personally know of 3 bookies,then start taking that times every small town,big city etc. either way it's kind of mind boggling when you think of what Vegas must do annually and legally.

Agreed. I wasn't specifically posting to this instance. I just laugh when I see some stat that starts with "up to" because they're getting paid and I can make up stats too. They probably do have some method they used to come to that number but the wording is just odd. But yeah, the amount of money spent betting on sports is astronomical and only going to go up as more states legalize it. I heard there is something on the ballot in CO this year to do just that. I'm hoping. Would love to get off Bovada. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
