when there are footprints on the moon.
I’ve always thought this quote was profound.
When I posted it, I commented:
It’s often attributed to “Paul Brandt” — but it’s not clear if that refers to Canadian country music artist Paul Rennée Belobersycky (Brandt is his stage name), or someone less famous. I searched music lyric sites to see if it’s in one of his songs, and didn’t find any hits.
Reader Jim in PEI, Canada, knew the song and confirmed it is a paraphrase of a Paul Brandt lyric, from “There’s A World Out There” (That’s the Truth album). Here’s the relevant portion:
There’s a world out there and I want to be in it
I got a life and I’m gonna live it
Don’t tell me the sky’s the limit
There’s footprints on the moon
Thanks, Jim!

Randy Cassingham is best known as the creator of This is True®, the oldest entertainment feature on the Internet: it has been running weekly by email subscription since early 1994. It is social commentary using weird news as its vehicle so it’s fun to read. Click here for the site — basic subscriptions are free.
Comments? Sorry: Facebook retired their commenting system (they didn’t even bother to alert me). Just as well, I suppose, but sadly there is no way to recover the many hundreds of comments made on this site. Lesson learned: never rely on someone else’s site for prime functions, especially “social media”!
Since this site is mostly retired now (maximum of one new post per month), I did decide that since all comments are now gone that I would not attempt to install any new commenting system. -rc
