Title: Some say the Bear took a flop...
Post by: Fletch on April 02, 2014, 11:56:29 AM
Without ANY research, do you believe Marks song on Sonny?

We all here know how brilliant a musician and lyricist he is - would anyone doubt his research on this song?
For the record, I really doubt Mark would write such a line (topic title) unless he thought Sonny DID take a flop. What do you think?

And are there any other story/factual songs you have thoughts / feelings about?

MK wrote this song after reading "Night train", a book about Sonny Liston, so maybe this is from where that line is...
