Knock, Knock, Knockin on Heaven's Door

Thank goodness Big John survived a scary expereince, collapsing on the links last week in Mississipi.  (Shades of Der Bingle, El Bingo to our  Spanish speaking brethren, who passed away walking off the 18th green in Spain.)

AS I noted in an earlier post, John Daly must have been listening to The Golf Album, because he is all over TGA's parody concept.  At the beginning of the video he says "there's a little golf verse at the end of it" - check it out.   (You should watch the entire video, Long John's patriotic ensemble is breathtaking and the skills aren't bad, considering the mileage on the performer.  But if you must skip ahead, start at 1:57).


Suffice it to say that Daly's musical selection of Bob Dylan's classic,  "Knockin' On Heaven's Door",  was eerily ironic, given his collapse in Mississippi.  At least he has a sense of humor.   It may also be said that, despite Daly's best efforts,  Bob Dylan's musical legacy is safe.  (The legacy of Dylan's golf game, should such exist, may be another story).

Speaking of patriotic ensembles, in Ryder Cup history, who is the only American golfer with two major titles to his credit never to have played on our Ryder Cup team?  You are correct, sir.

Feel better, John.
