I respect the Hell out of Joan Baez. But she became the object of derision amongst myself and my peers when she sang "till so much calvary came" instead of the correct "till Stoneman’s calvary came" in "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". Come on Joan, if we could hear it surely you should be able to!
And surely those living in glass houses should be wary of throwing stones 😀
I assumed @roxy54, our resident grammarian, would have seen to this, but since he hasn’t, I feel obliged to point out that “Calvary” (the place where Jesus was crucified) and “cavalry” (military troops on horseback) are very different words.
And don’t you think you should really cut Joan a little slack: I mean who among us has never been the victim of a mondegreen (a misinterpretation of a word or phrase heard, especially in the lyrics of a song)? So ‘scuse me while I kiss this guy, since I hear there’s a bathroom on the right!
With apologies to Jimi and Credence, respectively.
