[edit] Stevie Wonder

It might be nice to note that Stevie wonder, in his latest album did Blue Moon as one of his songs.

[edit] Origin of the phrase

A blue moon is more specific than "something that happens almost never": it's the second of two full moons that occur in the same calendar month. This happens about once every two and a half years, on average. (See http://www.obliquity.com/astro/bluemoon.html) Haydn01 09:13, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

A common belief, but originally a blue moon was the third full moon in a season with four full moons. (See http://skytonight.com/observing/objects/moon/3304131.html) Wschart 13:07, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for this. I think this is worth putting in the article, so I will do so. (I particularly like the fact that the info came from the Maine Almanac, given the Manchester City connection which is mentioned in the article! Haydn01 16:49, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hollywood Party

It looks like the mentioned movie Hollywood Party with Jean Harlow has never been filmed or released. IMDB only knows of two movies named Hollywood Party, one made in 1934 with Laurel/Hardy and one made in 1937 as a short film. 80.171.18.123 20:44, 6 January 2007 (UTC) nomennescio

[edit] Crewe/Man City song

This Man City website [1] is citing a published book stating that it was originally a Crewe Alexandra-song - as it is a second-hand source, I did not link it as a source, but it does indicate that to be true. And that is also what Wikipedia itself says on it's article on Crewe. It is also what this article originally said - it was edited to reflect the opposite without the person citing a source. As such, I was bold and edited it back. Railwayman (talk) 18:14, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
