Paint It Comma Black?
I see a typo and I want it grammatically correct,
No commas anymore I want them to turn black…
Troeltsch & Lorelei point out that the official title to Paint It Black by the Rolling Stones contains a comma in the original release, as in “Paint It, Black.” Keith Richards apparently feels the comma was mistakenly added by a secretary at Decca Records, while alternate theories consider the title to be racist. The comma has appeared intermittently on track listings ever since (according to a cursory search of Amazon).
Who, knew?

I’m pleased that Richards has actually thought about it. I thought it was weird for sons of the British middle class to have trouble with punctuation.
Also, I just noticed you’ve people’s names into tags. It seemed much less threatening when the tag was crazymonk.

I’ll take you out of the tags if you’d like. Most people don’t use real sounding names, so I didn’t really see it as an issue.
Paint It.
Black.

No, big, deal — it’s not like “Lorelei” is really anyone’s name. ;}
