Beautiful women and world peace; can the Euro find parity with the Dollar
fiction
Edward w Pritchard
Nothing is so harsh on the ear than to hear a European in a strange language and accent butcher a fine American love song like " Love is Blue" . Unfortunately I must include the British in this criticism because the language that they speak is often hostile to my ears especially Scottish or Cockney.
Technically it is true that "Love is Blue" was originally sung in French by Greek singer Vicki [ Leandros] and composed by Pierre Popp with lyrics by Pierre Cour but everyone knows " Love is Blue" is now an American institution beloved by American audiences and always sang here in American English.
While author acknowledges that " Vicki " [ Leandross ] was a beautiful woman back in the sixties with the cute short haircut Europeans should accept that the dollar is the world currency, gold included as well, and soon parity between the Dollar and Euro will balance many past injustices such as Europeans singing classic American love songs like " Love is blue" in unusual languages. As for the British pound no one in America can understand or remember what is a pence or a bob so it is irrelevant we are sorry to say.
International Economics isn't that difficult if you approach the subject from a common ground between the great nations of the world.
