If you can get your ears to go past the vocals, which requires a bit of discipline, than you will be able to see that Keef is always front and center on the Stones records - he is the riff master after all. |
| I like the phrase "she looked about thirty," which from their point of view at that time was OLD. Nowadays, man, thirty looks as fresh as a spring rose.

| Good song from the early Stones. Not often heard. Of course that's why we like RP.
|
| With all joking aside....this song kicks ass. |

Just read all the postings that led up to this! I laughed, Boober, if that helps! Are you male or female?
Jools my friend....I am 100% male.How's things across the pond? Can I ask you the same question? I like to jump in now and then and stir things up. Boober was a nickname given to me at age 2(long story)....nothing to do with the female anatomy. |

I know you were Boober, and I used your post as an excuse in stream of babble ... Good on ya as them Frenchies say, I think. |

| Todd Snider does a really good version of this song - he puts such comedic inflections in all the right places that I can't help but giggle when I hear it.
|
| My dad used to say "don't kill the spiders because they eat the other bugs". Which would mean the flys.

Well now Hunny-Bunch, your old buddy Misterfixit is derned sorry about that there little Baby-san! I mean you were 17 and all and I figured you would Take Care of Everything just in case I wasn't shooting Blanks in my old Howitzer of Love. Well, well, well, Forty-two you say? Dang that boy is most likely a spittin' image of his old man (especially Down Where it Counts — remember what you said "Oh My God! No Way I Can ......"). Here, now, don't worry about that there Sue-Port and DNA Paternity Testing ... You see, Old Misterfixit got rich after them Army days and thet little fracas over in Veetnam where he got all tangled up in blue. Yep, Old Misterfixit is ... well .. how should I put this ... REALLY rich. I do believe that the term is "Obscenely Rich". It is all about buying low and selling high and knowing when to deal, when to pull out (something GB should have learned) and when to do whatever makes ya feel right up in that old thalamouse or whereever in your haid. Well sure, I still live in a little old double wide out here on the farm in middle Tennessee .. it's a mite bit more homey than the house I growed up in — I got the indoor plumbing, I got the 'lectricity from the T.V.A., don't need the Sweet Water Well any more. Of course, the 2500 acres do help a bit to keep my privacy, don't ya know — oh, and the guns too ... OK, sorry for the long story .. just wanted to bring you up to date, don't ya know. Oh, and five wives too ... well not at the same time (well, ok, number three and four sort of .... uhhhh.... "over-lapped" should I say, but they fixed that with that Writ of Enjoinder or whatever the lawyer boy charged me $10,000 for (guess I shouldna said "lawyer boy" 'cause he's one of them African American guys what graduated from one of them Atmospherically Black Colleges here in Tennessee — the same one I just gave a couple of mil for their new data center ... huummmm "That Lawyer Gentleman" .. OK?). Anyway back to the Merry Wives of Windsor (Windsor Tennessee, don't ya know not that old england place where they dress in womens clothes and whip each other) Well, I'm pretty right happy with Old Number Six .. 'course she isn't "old" at all ... met her last year at an Insane Clown Posse concert (you know, the one where the kid on LSD threw himself over the bridge and onto a speeding eighteen wheeler heading West on Interstate 40. The kid went down I-40 also, but seems he didn't get to Memphis like he wanted to. Probably saw Elvis though). ANYway, I met this little chickdee .. she was passing around some stuff called exactly? extaly" I don't know —- some modern shit. Anyway, after we got back to that there Doublewide and made the shingles shake for a few hours (Praise His Holy Name for that Vigary Pill), we decided to get married. Her momma and daddy said it was OK too and she done promised to finish High School with the GED. Well, Hunny-Buns, that's about all the news I can bring you up on fer right now. Anyway, send me your address and I'll get that money man of mine to send ya a check. Got me a real nice Jewish Boy what takes care of the money investing and all that stuff them folks is so good at. And the next time you try to put one over on Old Misterfixit (if you have read this far) well, Come On Down ... and drop me another note or three.
I was just trying to be funny......thanks for the info though Misterfixit! |
