Rough Edges: A Heaping Helping of Crow

By the way, those comments I made yesterday about inaccuracies in Dave Barry's pop culture references . . . Never mind. He's right, I'm wrong.

No, you did a fine job. My mistake was making snide comments based on what passes for my memory these days. I would have sworn that NORTH TO ALASKA came out in 1961 and that the Gary U.S. Bonds song mentioned was later than that, too. But I was wrong on both counts. I have to start looking things up before shooting my mouth off. (Words to live by.); 1:07 PM, December 11, 2006
