Tuesday Night Open Thread

Posted by on

One song that most people only know the chorus is You Are My Sunshine. It’s officially credited to Jimmy Davis and Charles Mitchell, but Davis bought the song and rights from Paul Rice. However, Paul Rice may not have actually written the song. Folks in LaGrange, Georgia claim it was written by Oliver Hood who had performed it at the VFW there in 1933, six years before the first known recording.

So, we really don’t know who actually wrote it. And, I suspect, some of you have never heard the verses, only the chorus.

While we’re at it, whatever happened to the ozone hole that caused idiots to ban the only useful refrigerant a car’s AC unit can use? Are we done pretending there’s a hole now?
