I read on a CD cover that the song "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" by Elvis has a quote from Shakespeare. Does anyone know from which play it is?

Aaaahh, I didn't know he was married.

So, did you have to learn all your ancestor's writings when you grew up? Luckily, you don't write like him, because I would not have been able to understand you. :wink:

I don't know all his writings by any means..but I'm a wordy bastard myself...and I admire his work.....my ancestor Robert Quinney was a saloon owner and a shady character as the stroy goes and old Willima was none to pleased...I can tell you that bagging hot daughters and pissing off daddies is something that has been passed down through the years for sure....

Very Happy

On the other hand, Bi-Polar Bear, you must be an Elvis buff too, no?

Did the song come from an Elvis movie, do you know?
