Favorite Quotes... Ralph Waldo Emerson said this...









This one...
well this one has come AND gone
many many many times
along my lifeline!!

And I'm betting it has
with most of you
out there.

At times
it is certainly easier said than done!
Especially when there is a difficult
choice before you to be made.

Many times I've taken that unpaved
risky unknown pathway...
but there were times that I
completely chickened out
and for one reason or another...
took that smooth
well preserved
safe path!

And that's what life is all about... isn't it!

Making decisions
then taking action
and most importantly
making adjustments
along the way
both major ones AND minor
to keep you on course
barreling towards your final goal... which is...
SUCCESS!

Fuck yeah!!

This is such a simple
yet amazing thought and quote!
It is a constant companion by my side
whenever I have to make a choice
be it a life-altering one or not.

Not going along with the crowd
being an individual
taking chances
some well thought out
some not
are what make you
who you are!

So cool isn't it!





writer, philosopher and poet
said this...


"Do not go where the path may lead
go instead
where there is no path
and leave a trail"




Ralph Waldo Emerson... A postage stamp was issued in his honor in 1940. How awesome is that!

The Rolling Stones... Sympathy For The Devil... Song of the Moment








Song of the Moment



Such a fucking song this is!!!

Sympathy For The Devil

It almost seems like a
History lesson about past events.
Not unlike Billy Joel's brilliant
Yet another masterpiece for sure.

Just sing along with the lyrics...
so fuckin' good
when you finally know
just what the fuck
Mick is saying LoL!

I only learned the "real" lyrics
a few years ago.
Just like so many of you...
I've been singing the wrong
words to this incredible
piece of music ever since I
first heard it as a kid.

The highlight for me
is without a doubt
when Keith plays
that crystal clear
absolutely filthy... slutty
guitar solo that kicks in
at the 2:49 mark.

Also
the way Mick pronounces
"ten decades"

Again...
so fuckin' good!

Enjoy muthafucka's!!!



The Rolling Stones... Beggars Banquet... Sympathy For The Devil
The Rolling Stones... Beggar's Banquet... Sympathy For The Devil


Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the
Nature of my game

Stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a General's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Oh yeah
Aaaah what's puzzling you is the
Nature of my game
Aaah yeah

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

I shouted out
Who killed the Kennedy's
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I lay traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Oh yeah
But what's puzzling you is the
Nature of my game
Aaah yeah
A get down hit it

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Oh yeah
But what's confusin' you is just the
Nature of my game
Mmm yeah

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy
And some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste
Mmm yeah

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Mmm yeah
But what's puzzling you is the
Nature of my game
Mmmmm mean it
Get down

Wooo woo
Aah yeah
Get on down
Oh yeah

Aaah yeah

Tell me baby
A what's my name
Tell me honey
A can ya guess my name
A tell me baby
A what's my name
I tell you one time
You're to blame

Wooo wo
Wooo wo
Wooo wo
Alright

Aah woo wo
Aah woo wo
Aah woo wo
Aah yeah

Wooo woo woo
Wooo woo woo
Aaah yeah
A what's my name

Tell me baby
A what's my name
Tell me sweetie
What's my name

Wooo woo woo
Wooo woo woo
Wooo woo woo
Wooo woo woo...

Aaaah yeah







And just in case if you were unsure
of what the R.S.V.P. meant...
Remember the name of the album
Beggars "Banquet".
It's an invitation!
And R.S.V.P. is French
"re'pondez s'il vous plait"
meaning
Please or If you please... respond!
