Season 27, Day 7 - "Goin' West"
It's Young week, and today's quiz is inspired by "Go west, young man."
“Go west, young man”
“Washington is not a place to live in. The rents are high, the food is bad, the dust is disgusting and the morals are deplorable. Go West, young man, go West and grow up with the country.”
“Go west, young man” is a phrase often credited to New York Tribune founder and editor Horace Greeley. Some say the source of the phrase was actually an earlier editorial by John Soule. It is associated with manifest destiny, the 19th-century belief that westward expansion by American settlers was inevitable. Go West, Young Man is the title of a film starring Mae West. The song “Go West, Young Man” was originally sung by Groucho Marx in the Marx Brothers film Go West and later recorded by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters.
