Keith Richards wrote that song 50 years ago and it was released in early 1967. According to Wiki, there is some dispute concerning the late Brian Jones' contributions. That is Jones playing the recorder.
You've curled your lips and choked and joked of tinted hair Oh Rubio are you contemplating, going out somewhere The shadow on the wall, tells me the sun is going down Oh Rubio...*
Either he takes the town this time around or the town takes him with the slamming of the door.
Ok, a little forced, but then so is Rubio. At this point, all I can do is step back from the drama and remain curious to see what unfolds. I've been fooled before and am not in tune with the current wants and needs of voters any more. Should he get the nod and the push, I believe Hillary will blow enough smoke and fire to roast Young Rubio and then cackle as she sucks the marrow from his bones.
From another 1967 hit, with that song made famous by Kenny Rogers and The First Edition in 1969. "Ruby" was originally recorded in 1967 by Johnny Darrell, who scored a number nine country hit with it that year.
What's termed a "Plaintive Recorder" fill in for the zither, with this fact coming up for the other song about slamming doors and taking one's love to town:
From SONGFACTS.. "Mel Tillis wrote this song. He based the song on a couple who lived near his family in Florida. In real life, the man was wounded in Germany in World War II and sent to recuperate in England. There he married a nurse who took care of him at the hospital. The two of them moved to Florida shortly afterward, but he had periodic return trips to the hospital as problems with his wounds kept flaring up. His wife saw another man as the veteran lay in the hospital. Tillis changed the war in the song to the Korean War, and left out the life ending: the man killed her in a murder-suicide. In the song, the man says he would kill her if he could move to get his gun."
I know that song, MamaM. Years ago in the halcyon days of the Twitter Mad Men craze, I imagined a plot wherein Joan Harris's husband came back wounded from Viet Nam (Christine Hendrick of course being Ruby). The plot would play out that song's story line.
And as long as I'm on a roll, I've something off topic to send on to chickelit, that has to do with lit fires and filled buckets from a while ago.
While reading the "On the Town" magazine in a waiting room today, I learned Neil deGrasse Tyson is coming to WestMI for two shows and a local reporter had asked him this question for the magazine interview in which denude was included in deAnswer along with relish:
Q. What do we need to do to improve science education?
A. I don't claim to have a silver bullet answer here. I can say that as long as people view science as a shelf of information to be poured into someone's head, then science can become immensely denuded of all its excitement. Excitement comes from exploration and curiosity, the application of curiosity to new problems that you've never seen before--because that's what science does.
A scientist or engineer relishes new problems, and they are equipped with problem-solving tools. Here's a problem I know you've never seen before, and you can do it. YOu can figure it out. The act of figuring it out is the joy of the sciences.
Kid's go through years of studying the water cycle and the rock cycle with little hand's on experience with science.
School systems value answers rather than the process. If all you value is the answers, then gone is the very soul of what science is. So yes, in my judgment there needs to be some kind of reform as to how the science subjects are taught in schools, if we're going to enable and empower students to retain childhood curiosity. Every child is born curious about their environments...
I forgot to provide the link, thinking it was well known. I'm glad you knew what it was chickelit. Here's the link: Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town complete with a reference to "Patriotic Duty", followed of course, by The Gambler.
It's not just science, as you know. Here's a link to the blog post you inspired me to write along with the original Trooper York link.
There seems to be a lot wrong with science teaching. I'm involved with tutoring high students. As my time is supplemental and completely discretionary from the student's point of view, I have to make things interesting lest I get canned. Not so from the real teacher's perspective.

Super tuesday.
Goodbye, Rubio Tuesday?
To paraphrase a friend, politics, like benzene, both sucks and blows.
You've curled your lips and choked and joked of tinted hair
Oh Rubio are you contemplating, going out somewhere
The shadow on the wall, tells me the sun is going down
Oh Rubio...*

Thanks for remembering that MamaM!
