The clear difference, in terms of being inside closing quotation marks, is that question marks and exclamation marks can punctuate single words and add meaning (as in my hypothetical song title), whereas periods and commas do not. Insisting that your song is called: "1984." or: "1984," is too too precious, and whatever glimpse of meaningfulness that closing punctuation might possess, it's nowhere near as distinct from just-plain "1984" as "1984!" or "1984?" would be. The question isn't part of the title - it's part of the sentence. - -- ...Jeff The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2005 19:02:19 +0000 From: 2and2makes5@comcast.net Subject: Re: Years - -------------- Original message -------------- > Did anyone mention the Eurythmics "1984?" > > - carrie, in the camp of putting the question mark squarely inside the > quote, the carriester There was an (unused soundtrack) album called "1984" but there wasn't a song called "1984" on it.

It seemed not very "rock and roll" and that amused him: "and so I go from floor to floor looking for a port of call / another drunk conquistador conquering the governor's ball" So, uh, don't blame Elliott... xo Lauren - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I hate all music.

Gourrier, 63, who went by the stage name John Fred, had been ill for months, said his former manager, Lynn Ourso, of the Louisiana Department of Economic Development. "He had a kidney transplant seven months ago," Ourso said. "Two months after that he had another operation to remove his old kidneys, and that's when things went wrong. He'd basically been in and out of the hospital since then." John Fred & His Playboy Band had a regional following in the South when they recorded their parody of the popular Beatles' song "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," in 1967. Written by Gorrier and fellow band member Andrew Bernard, "Judy In Disguise" was recorded in New Orleans with the Fats Domino band on Dec. 17.
