Nothing to add

Been kind of busy of late, so not much blogging. Two items, though, caught my interest. As an additional bonus -- from my "lack of time" perspective -- these require almost no comment from me.

First, from Newsweek, I see that the NFL has banned the use of Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll Part 2" as a touchdown anthem. [Trust me, you know the song. If you don't recognize it from the title, click here to listen.] From Newsweek:

The NFL has effectively banned stadiums from playing Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll Part 2" after the Brit rocker was convicted of molesting underage girls in Vietnam, prompting a search for a substitute celebratory anthem.

The best part of the short item?

But most teams just hope to hear their touchdown song—whatever it is—often.

Second, from A Singapore Economist:

Chinese officials have decided to crack down on the practice at some rural villages of hiring strippers to perform at funerals. The practice is intended to attract more attendees to funerals because many people believe that a greater number of people improve the deceased’s chances for better afterlife. They also think that more people bring luck to the survivors as well.

I wonder if "luck" means the same thing in English and Chinese?
