Никогда не лишне напомнить
Apr. 30th, 2008 02:53 pmА слухам о том что автор и исполнитель этой песни Бобби Макферрин покончил с собой именно после исполнения этой песни не верьте! Официальные источники не подтверждают ничего такого. Бобби жив, доволен и всем активно желает того же. И я к нему присоединяюсь!
UPD:
Usually those rumors were non-specific, baldly imparted as "He committed suicide," but sometimes the additional detail that he'd shot himself would be provided. The tale was justly ironic and thus much beloved: the man who'd crooned "In every life we have some trouble, but when you worry you make it double" ultimately couldn't stomach what he'd been spooning out to others. Those who'd heard the tune too often during difficult spans in their own lives found a measure of comfort in this, because as anyone who suffers from clinical depression can tell you, getting over it requires far more than the mere adoption of a Pollyanna attitude.
Yet the tale wasn't true. Although he has descended from the musical heights he reached in 1988, Bobby McFerrin is still very much with us
and regularly performs both as a solo artist and as a conductor.
