Story about this misheard lyric by: Johnny WhiteBoy I heard this song as I was driving down the road...only because the teenagers in the car with me wanted to listen to their music. I thought that somebody had found a way to make Shakespeare current for this generation. I was just about to tell these young people all about Othello, but something inside of me told me to keep my mouth shut. This was one time when that inner voice was right...and I decided to listen to it. |
