mr. brooks wrote these lyrics...in 1992. with ms. stephanie davis. spanone Feb 2014 #90

Well, it's certainly a cut above the quote he gave several years ago, IrishAyes Feb 2014 #92

Can you cite a reference for this? I find it hard to believe. n/t Tanuki Feb 2014 #94

Well, I could look it up FOR you, but it would be just as easy for you to google it yourself. IrishAyes Feb 2014 #110

I tried to look it up because it sounded so implausible and could not find Tanuki Feb 2014 #129

Typing in all caps doesn't make it true, nor does it make your claim seem more credible. Heidi Feb 2014 #130
