Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge – Please don’t tell me how the story ends (1978).
Lyrics: American retired country singer, songwriter and actor Kris Kristofferson. Vocals:Kris Kristofferson and his former wife and American recording artist Ms Rita Coolidge.
Please don’t tell me how the story ends.
This may be our last goodnight together. We may never pass this way again. Just let me enjoy it ’till its over, Or forever. Please don’t tell me how the story ends. See the way our shadows come together, Softer than your fingers on my skin. Someday this may be all, we’ll remember. Of each other. Please don’t tell me how the story ends. Never’s just the echo of forever, Lonesome as the love that might have been. Let me go on loving and believing, ‘Till it’s over babe. Don’t tell me how the story ends Please don’t tell me how the story ends.
American stand-up comedian Mr James Gregory sadly passed away on Thursday last, May 9th, 2024, just three days after his 78th birthday, having suffered cardiac complications.
Born on May 6th, 1946, in Lithonia, Georgia, USA, Mr Gregory was the first member of his family to graduate high school, before working as a salesperson until the age of 36 years, when he then began introducing performers at ‘The Punch Line Comedy Club’ at No. 3652 Roswell Road, Atlanta, in the U.S. state of Georgia.
His death was sadly confirmed on his official Facebook page, sparking an outpouring of grief from millions of devoted fans. His Facebook page stated “Today, with heavy hearts, we announce the passing of the Funniest Man in America, comedian James Gregory. He brought laughter and joy to countless lives, leaving an indelible mark on the world of comedy and those who loved him. James’ three nieces who referred to him as Uncle Bubba; Martha Anne, Mary Jane, and Candie, along with their families, were instrumental in caring for him through his last days and weeks. Gregory first made a name for himself in the comedy world in the 1980s, when he began MCing at legendary ‘The Punch Line comedy club’ in Atlanta in 1981.”
The Diocese of Killaloe has welcomed the appointment today (Tuesday, May 14th 2024), by His Holiness Pope Francis, of Monsignor Séamus Horgan of Ennis, Co. Clare, as Papal Nuncio to South Sudan.
Newly appointed Papal Nuncio to South Sudan, Monsignor Séamus Horgan from Ennis, Co. Clare, pictured with His Holiness Pope Francis at the Vatican in Rome.
A native of Tobarteascáin, near St. Flannan’s College, where he completed his secondary schooling, Monsignor Horgan entered St Patrick’s College, Maynooth in 1987, before being ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Michael Harty in 1994 at the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in Ennis.
He is currently First Counsellor at the Apostolic Nunciature in Washington D.C. and has previously held Diplomatic Service of the Holy See rolls in Uganda, Switzerland, The Philippines and Italy.
Commenting on the appointment, Bishop of Killaloe Dr. Fintan Monahan said, “I warmly congratulate Monsignor Séamus Horgan on his appointment by Pope Francis to be Nuncio to South Sudan based in the city of Juba. He is also appointed to the titular See of Árd Sratha – Ardstraw, County Tyrone.”ioc
Bishop Monahan continued, “Monsignor Horgan brings a wealth of pastoral and practical experience with him to his new role. A conscientious, diligent and prayerful pastor, his engagement with people is marked with great kindness and courtesy. He served with distinction in his appointments at local level in Bodyke, Co. Clare and Roscrea, Co. Tipperary in the diocese and in his various appointments since he entered the diplomatic service.”
“I wish Monsignor Horgan every good wish and blessing in his important role and assure him of the prayers of the faithful of Killaloe Diocese,” added Bishop Monahan. “At this time there are three Apostolic Nuncios, originally from Ireland, in active diplomatic service for the Universal Church – and here in Killaloe we are very proud of the fact that two of them are natives of our diocese.”
St. Flannan’s College Principal Fr. Iggy McCormack said, “This episcopal appointment is a tremendous honour for Monsignor Séamus and for our school. We are very proud of what he has achieved in his ministry to date during which time he has served as Secretary of the Apostolic Nunciatures in Kampala, Berne and Manila, as well as working at the Secretariat of State in Rome from 2015 to 2020 before assuming his current role in the United States.”
“This is the first time in many decades that a Papal Nuncio has emanated from our alumni. The students and staff of St Flannan’s College wish Monsignor Séamus the very best for the future,” added Fr. McCormack.
Following six years of pastoral ministry in the Diocese of Killaloe Diocese, Monsignor Séamus Horgan was sent to Rome 2000 for further studies. After completing a Licence in Canon Law (Pontifical Gregorian University), he joined the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy in Rome to prepare for the service of the Holy See. In 2008 he was appointed a Chaplain of His Holiness and in 2019 a Prelate of Honour. Monsignor Horgan speaks English, Italian & French and has a working knowledge of German.
It was a pleasant, warm evening in Nowlan Park Co. Kilkenny, yesterday May 12th for the arrival of American rock singer, songwriter, and guitarist the great Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen. Despite Met Éireann warning of continuous heavy showers; a dirty looking sky containing cumulonimbus and other cloud formations, failed to materialise; dared to do so by an estimated and welcoming 40,000 fans.
Springsteen and his E Street band (or should I be more accurate “his magnificent and talented E Street orchestra”), took the opportunity yesterday to pay tribute to a recently departed Irish and Tipperary talent, which he had visited in person just last year. In the knowledge, that over 25,000 thousand Tipperary fans were present, Springsteen and his E Street band of musicians remembered Shane MacGowan, by opening their outstanding three hour and fifteen minute performance, with that heart-wrecking 1986 MacGowan and Pogues classic “A Rainy Night in Soho.”
On hearing of Shane MacGowan’s death; Springsteen had announced on social media, stating; “Over here on E Street, we are heartbroken over the death of Shane MacGowan. Shane was one of my all-time favourite writers. The passion and deep intensity of his music and lyrics is unmatched by all but the very best in the rock and roll canon. I was fortunate to spend a little time with Shane and his lovely wife Victoria the last time we were in Dublin. He was very ill, but still beautifully present in his heart and spirit. His music is timeless and eternal. I don’t know about the rest of us, but they’ll be singing Shane’s songs 100 years from now”.
A Rainy Night in Soho.
Lyrics:Shane MacGowan. Vocals:Bruce Springsteen and his E Street band.
A Rainy Night in Soho.
I’ve been loving you a long time, Down all the years, down all the days, And I’ve cried for all your troubles, Smiled at your funny little ways. We watched our friends grow up together, And we saw them as they fell, Some of them fell into Heaven, Some of them fell into Hell, I took shelter from a shower, And I stepped into your arms, On a rainy night in Soho, The wind was whistling all its charms. I sang you all my sorrows, You told me all your joys. Whatever happened to that old song? To all those little girls and boys.
Sometimes I’d wake up in the morning, The ginger lady by my bed, Covered in a cloak of silence, I’d hear you talking in my head. I’m was not singing for the future, And I’m not dreaming of the past, I’m not talking of the first times, I never think about the last. Now the song is nearly over, We may never find out what it means, Still there’s a light I hold before me, You’re the measure of my dreams. The measure of my dreams.
