"Mistakes were made" is an expression that is commonly used as a rhetorical device, whereby a speaker acknowledges that a situation was handled poorly or inappropriately but seeks to evade any direct admission or accusation of responsibility by using the passive voice. The acknowledgement of "mistakes" is framed in an abstract sense, with no direct reference to who made the mistakes. An active voice construction might be along the lines of "I made mistakes" or "John Doe made mistakes." The speaker neither accepts personal responsibility nor accuses anyone else. The word "mistakes" also does not imply intent.Usually "Mistakes were made" is followed by "but not by me".....we won't go that far but you be the judge.This episode of the DRR Show starts off with a 3 song set by various bands with the name Kaleidoscope. Mexico, the UK as well as USA are the countries represented...the great Barney Kessell underscores the explanation of such by

Tony Jackson & the Vibrations start off the 1st set with a killer version of Benny Spellman's "Fortune Teller" followed by producer extraordinaire Mickey Most's "That's alright" with a little help from Jimmy Page. Since the Oscars were on this week Samuel Jackson & John Travolta via Pulp Fiction pave the way for Charlie Feathers' "That certain female" which Quentin Tarantino used in Kill Bill 1.
