Well, paint me green and call me Gumby! - 21 March 2003 . 10:25
I was sitting in my car this morning listening to the radio when I had a startling realization. For years I have botched the lyrics to "Boys of Summer" (Don Henley) while singing along! There's a line in the song that says...."I can see you/your brown skin shining in the sun" that I've been singing as "I can see you/your brows keep shining in the sun." The fact that my lyrics made no sense never dawned on me until this morning when I heard the song...really heard the song since I was not singing along...Truly amazing what one learns when mouth closes and ears open, Grasshopper.
Onto the North Carolina history segment of our program brought to you by...well, I guess that would be ME since I bought the book and do all the typing here...
