"Parson Brown" is the term used to talk about a typical priest of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. "Parson Brown" is not an actual person (though he might have been at some time), but a figure of speech, like "John Doe" is an unidentified male and "Charley" is a watchman. "Parson" by itself means minister. In the song Winter Wonderland, Parson Brown is a priest asking a couple if they are married. They reply that they are not and that they will wait for him to "do the job" of marrying them when he comes to their town.

John Lennon shirts being peddled near the Museum of Modern Arts, which sits at the upper east side of Central Park in New York City.

It's John's death anniversary today, Dec. 8. He was shot and killed in 1980.

He is the unofficial mascot of the City of Oak Glen. They said he was a shelter cat and now makes his home at the Moms Country Orchard store and greets all guests like a real ambassador of goodwill.
