KAT HAS APOPLEXY OVER EMAIL RELEASE

Kat has apoplexy over email release

The IPKat is in a state of acute distress over his receipt of a missive headed "Harbottles fights alleged Procul Harum organ transplant" from The Lawyer. Apart from Proculising Procol, the missive refers to
" ... '60s prog-rock one-hit wonder Procol Harum ...".
Surely some mistake! One hit wonder? Never! One half of the IPKat has happy memories of Conquistador, Homburg, Shine on Brightly, Magdalene (My Regal Zonophone), Salty Dog and Souvenir of London - not to mention the hit that Procol Harum had before they were even Procol Harum when, as the Paramounts, they notched up a notable chart success with Poison Ivy (the selfsame Paramounts who were the backing group for Sandy "Always Something There to Remind Me" Shaw" ...)

    Can't compete with the Coasters' 'Poison Ivy'.

    Here, here! I am not a pop music fan but I treasure my copy of Homburg although nowadays I play it in private.

    Maybe Harbottles are trying to show off a classical education? Procul (adverb: "far from, at a distance") is at least a Latin word - "procol" isn't. But that still leaves the problem that harum is, as any fule kno, a plural genetive feminine so we're still not exactly talking Ciceronian standards of grammar...

    Quite right - I prefer 50s music.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
