Deborah,

If Peggy’s goal is to appear a little more interesting, a little more “cool,” then professing a liking for Dylan could move her closer to that goal. It’s always plausible to say, well, I really don’t know that much about him. I’ve said that truthfully and I’ve known it to be said untruthfully. Call it a “fib.”

Dating often involves a little fudging of the truth. Anyone who says they’ve never done it has either never dated or they’re fibbing, y’know?

Jack, Peggy is perfectly capable of lying, but she is also very goal-oriented. Lying here would not achieve her goals, y’know?

while it would shock me if she was lying…i have trouble discounting it completely….

she might not be lying completely…just enhancing the truth perhaps?

Honestly, I just don’t think that Peggy would lie. She is trying to “choose boys” who appeal to her sensibility; pretending to lie about her tastes doesn’t achieve that goal.

Considering Peggy still blinds people with her earnestness I doubt she was lying. Anything’s possible though.

hey there folks…

i’m not sure if anyone brought this up…but is it possible that Peggy was not telling the truth…and just saying that to “be cool”? I’m not saying she’s a dishonest person…but then again…look at what her job is…..

just a thought…

Yeah, I think people spoke about hearing ‘records’ the way we say hearing ’songs’. Paul Simon always talks about ‘records’.
