> [@Jurph](#): > > Also, Mary Chapin Carpenter is a great songwriter and singer, and her version of Mark Knopfler’s “The Bug” is absolutely stellar. Ecept when Knophler wrote it, and Dire Straits recorded it, it was called “Fool In Love.” I never understood why it was retitled when Carpenter covered it. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > Ummm…I’m looking at the CD of _On Every Street_ right now, and it says “The Bug.” I could have sworn it was on the same EP that featured “Twisting By The Pool”, and was called “Fool In Love.” But I can’t find a cite in my defense anywhere, and so conceed this. Crap. ---

It’s entirely possible that the title was changed between the EP and the LP. But a noble concession, none the less. Well-spoken, the act of a true gentleman. 😃 ---

> [@WhyNot](#): > > If it helps the OP to believe his coffee cup, I’ll admit I don’t know why this should be funny/ironic/momentous or any other adjective you care to name. I do know Charles Manson was a wacko who got a bunch of people to kill some other people, but have no idea what Spahn Ranch is/was. > > I’m 30, FTR, but I’m not a barista. Spahn Ranch was where Charlie and his “family” were living when all the “unpleasantness” started. ---
