I'd always noticed that she had a tattoo of one of Ralph Steadman's Hunter S Thomspon drawings on her arm. I was pretty sure I was going to hit this one out of the park. I asked her if she'd read any of his work, and she said no, but she liked the movies. The look on my face was probably strike one here. Strike two was when I said that it was wild that he was actually from Kentucky. She got very pissy and told me that he definitely was from Colorado, not Kentucky. Like she was pissed-off mad and kind of hostile at this point. I let it go.
To this very day, it annoys the shit out of me. I guarantee that whatever she's doing now, she probably still believes she was right.
Fun side note, John Oates was his neighbor for those final years.
On a related note, I was in college before cell phones and we were at a diner and oldies radio was on and "The Pina Colada Song" was on and people, my friends and townies alike, all seemed to agree that it was a Jimmy Buffet song. And I said it was some one-hit wonder guy with glasses who looked like a sex offender but I can't remember his name.
Everyone assured me it was Jimmy Buffet and it was frustrating.
