Song Titles Game - Part II

This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

I love pretentious quotation marks, that way I know it's the name of a song... but frankly I'm amazed that you forgot the pretentious square brackets this time, because the correct title is: I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never have Met).

"I Pity the Poor Immigrant"- Dylan

Pretentious? Are you certain? I am just using the University of Chicago Usage Guide acceptable punctuation for song titles in a text. As to pretentious square brackets I would refer you to the back of the 2003 reissue of Another Side of Bob Dylanwhere the back cover clearly cites the song as "I Don't Believe You", but you would know this as a fellow Dylan fan. Would seem the artist is comfortable with this title. The use of ellipsis marks can be confusing. I think you have misused them as you are not quoting from an original text. Your use of a colon appears to be incorrect, as you are not introducing a list of song titles, just one.

By all means if you would like to criticize me do so for a 'pretentious' usage of hyphens and for pitiful spelling within my stream of consciousness verbiage, particularly, as I have in the past approached these posts as stream of consciousness exercises, sort of being in the moment.

Self examination, I have found, is a cathartic and informative exercise. You might try it. Criticize me if you legitimately disagree with something I have posted with a reasoned discourse. I have no use for your usual snide meanness.
