“If we’re looking to break even (on Heritage Fest), I heard Led Zeppelin may be touring.”

Isn’t it supposed to be “Quote/endquote”??? I seem to remember that from my high school speech class.
Maybe not though, as Plant isn’t touring with them. I love Zep, but without Robert…I am not so sure.
Obviously not a speech team member, eh? Quote/unquote, or quote (content) end-quote.
Quote/end quote? No thanks.
Nor am I alone in my faulty usage:

I’ll tell you what. THe THursday night concenrt was a bust this year. But last year, the name was bigger and it was packed. Get a bigger name, charge a price that is reasonable and the community will rally. LOTS of people like the idea of walking to the concert, drinking beer and then walking home. Leave the kiddies at home. I heard some where on hear of a way to bring the higher end restuarants to a “Restaurant Garden” and charge to get in or purchase special tickets. Something better than the usual. Take a cut of the premium.
Thursday night concert = Big Head Todd and the Monsters
No Plant = No Quarter
