It's Too Late

Overheard while sitting down for a fast food dinner .....

From the table behind me while Carole King's song, It's Too Late, played on the house sound system: "Carole King used to be married to James Taylor." I thought: "Should I turn around and correct the lady?" ..... "Is it my place to tell her, No that's not true. James Taylor was married to Carly Simon but that he recorded Carole King's song, You've Got A Friend."

But then suddenly I was filled with doubt. What if I'm not quite the rock music historian that I think I am? I'd really hate to be called out as a false prophet in this crowded fish & chips place. Maybe I ought to just check it out before intruding on other peoples conversations. I could detect a little tone of surprise in her dinner mates voice, like he wasn't sure either. But before I could decide what to do, they veered off into some vague Carlos Santana thoughts that I couldn't quite hear and then just like the title of the song being played, it really was too late.

The moral of the story ...... You've got to have confidence in your knowledge and be ready to act in situations like this!!
