Two dogs pissed on the same tree in the Bronx within 3 minutes of each other.

Also the day Yankees pitchers Peterson and Kekich announced that they swapped wives.

Didn't George Harrison & Eric Clapton do something like that also?

...not really...George and Eric were good friends. But Clapton always had a crush on Harrison's wife Patti Boyd, for whom Harrison honored with the song "Something". Clapton, who was secretly and insanely in love with his friend's wife and had made several unsuccessful attempts to lure her away from George but Patti politely refused.
...So Clapton also wrote a song about her but because she was still married to George he could not use her real name for obvious reasons...so the song about his unrequited love for this woman was called "Layla".
...Patti left George a few years later and Eric finally got what he had wanted for so long...and wrote another notable song about Patti called "Wonderful Tonight".


...one woman...immortalized by 3 hit songs...don't think that's ever happened before.

Talk about persistence wearing down resistance. Thanks for the actual story Ron.

There are no dogs in the Bronx either. They've all wound up on Dinner Tables....

Amazing how a vagrant wound up on Lennon's Chateau, in the woods of England, found by Security. John was mildly frustrated, yet invited the Kid in for Breakfast.

On the other hand, a man broke into George's English Countryside Chateau, stabbing George in the back. George had in the esophagus, brain and lungs.

...actually, there are quite a few trees in the Bronx.
