London broker group is to move into our beloved Sears Tower and rename it to Willis Tower this year, how :censor: ridiculous..

If I ever hear someone correct me when I refer to it as the Sears Tower, they will get a swift kick to the neck.

Is it April 1st?! WTF?!? Truly sad. Another familiar American icon comes to pass, even if in name only. My daughter and I went shopping the other day, her notebook paper was made in Vietnam. I was going to buy a pair of Levis, knowing the last time I looked they were made in Mexico, and I put them back. Haiti. Levis. Now made in Haiti. I put them back. I can only buy so many Zippo's and Mag-lites in an effort to feel like I'm doing my part to keep jobs and brand names here in the good ol' USofA. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a strange land. :(

Credance Clearwater Revival?

Correct! "CCR" for short:)

Now that I think about it the song might be call "Down on the corner" ?

Anyway the building has a new name and that's that!:P

It will now be known at the "Willie T".

Like, "Hey let's meet at the Willie T for lunch.

And there's always that "Macy's" debacle.
Heck,I'm still mourning the loss of Riverview,the World's Greatest Amusement Park.laugh your troubles away.

[TAKEDOWN]

Down on Corner had a line in it about Willie and poor boys.

[Bigdogjim]

Early in the evenin just about supper time,
Over by the courthouse theyre starting to unwind.
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up.
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.

Chorus:
Down on the corner, out in the street,
Willy and the poorboys are playin;
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.

Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile,
Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while.
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo.
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.

Chorus

Chorus

You dont need a penny just to hang around,
But if youve got a nickel, wont you lay your money down?
Over on the corner theres a happy noise.
People come from all around to watch the magic boy.

Chorus
Chorus
