This week's theme, in case you are just joining us, is SONGS ABOUT GETTING FIRED/LAID OFF/QUITTING. This song just HAD to make my Top-5, one of Ben Folds' most poignant and saddest songs...and it's about a 25-year newspaper man losing his job..."he's forgotten but not yet gone"...in this version, Folds is performing with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra...enjoy!
I'd like this one better if it was about a lying religious bigot. The title should be Goodbye Ello. And make it a happy song.
