misquoted

When I was in high school, my dad was a revolutionary in the convenience store world (yeah, that's right), and I remember once seeing this article that ran in Convenience Store News about him. They had a quote from him that read, "we're a meat and potatoes people here in the midwest." Now, that doesn't sound like something my dad would ever say, and when I asked him about hit, he indeed never said that. It made me wonder why then even printed it, and as a direct quote nonetheless.

It's 6:30am and I had nothing better to do than google myself. I know my pal listmaker has done this before (google me, that is), so I thought I'd do it myself. And low and behold, there I am in some article in the UNT paper about a show that Tripping Daisy played years ago for some AIDS benefit. They have a quote from me, citing me as "Daisy spokesman". Funny, I hadn't remembered ever talking to anyone at the UNT paper about that, didn't remember saying that quote and certainly don't remember appointing myself as band spokesman. But there it was anyway.

Here, if you want to see for yourself (it's a long page of archives or something, so just search for my name or Tripping Daisy on the page to find it).
