The "Angry" Hobbyist

Metaphor for a breakup in a relationship Richard Webb had with a girl. He wrote the song after he heard she was getting married. Many of the memorable moments in their relationship took place in and around MacArthur Park in LA.

Webb made two albums with Harris, an actor rather than a singer, but he had just finished playing King Arthur in the musical Camelot so was pretty famous and known as a singer after that role.

And why the hell did I have to answer this? Isn’t that Soanky’s job? Originally Posted by Rockydoc

Yes, Webb. And Casey, Donna doesn't date you nearly as much as Richard dates me. That's an old song!

I'm angry because I have nothing to be angry about! I actually had a really good day...

My favorite of the 150 remakes was Maynard Ferguson’s big band version. I loved playing it in HS and college Marching Band.

It was once said of baseball manager Earl Weaver (a St. Louis native), and I've often said of myself (also a St. Louis native), that "He's not happy unless he's not happy."

In my case, that's less a description and more my approach to life.

I’m angry that more pimps aren’t accommodating enough to out themselves as such. That should be a regular thing.

But that’s a never ending loop! 🤓😳

Well, I'm angry about sanctimonious, self-righteous dipshits. Also in a never-ending loop. So I guess we're about even there.

BTW it's 'hypocrites'. At least try to get it right if you're going to insult someone.

Keeping it in perspective... It’s laughable, since I never take anyone who can’t spell better than a fifth grader seriously.
