PoindexterOglethorpe
(25,862 posts)people should ALWAYS double-check the source of any quote they want to post. One of the many things I love about the internet is how things like that are really very easy to do. But do most people bother? No.
I often start to post something here, and then pause to double check my source or my facts. A good third of the time I was wrong. So I correct my post or, somewhat more often, don't post at all. And even then I can get things wrong or get into a disagreement with those here about whatever.
But that sort of egregiously wrong citation should never happen, especially to someone with more than a 7th grade education.

(5,103 posts)Consider it a qualifying run of alt-fact bullshit.
Many people don't care for literature and most others just don't give a shit.
Only a few fact check it and then faux will be saying you should believe it.
The only ones left are Democrats! We know that everything they say is a lie!

Tanuki
(14,918 posts)made famous by Kathy Mattea in the late 1980s. (The late Susanna Clark was married to the late Guy Clark, also a legendary songwriter).
https://www.google.com/amp/quoteinvestigator.com/2014/02/02/dance/amp/
Bits of it were running through my head, but I couldn't pin it down. Was also thinking of lines from "I hope You Dance" (Mattea). Don't remember why I asked before questioning the internet. Isn't it great? A line from a song from any era comes to mind and you can track it down.
Tanuki
(14,918 posts)sing the song at Johnny D's in Cambridge. He mentioned that Susanna wrote it. And yes, I don't know what we all did before we could carry around practically all the information in the world (I know I'm exaggerating, but still...) in something the size of a deck of cards. Btw, it was Lee Ann Womack who had a hit with "I Hope you Dance."
