This 1964 version makes the Rolling Stones sound a wee bit 'tame'  Yes, but the Georgia/Mississippi/Louisiana influence really shows. Here's the original by Rufus Thomas: |

you can see them
on a dead end highway
feel their presence on the street
watch them gamble
the jacks & the aces
angels with dirty faces
up in the hotel room
out in the sticks
down in the alley ways
looking for kicks
the pretty young girls
with the lipstick traces
angels with dirty faces
see them leaning up against the wall
look how their jackets fall
look at them walk
look at them talk
see them changing
just like the weather
a boy and a girl
out together
watch them gamble
the jacks and the aces
angels with dirty faces
see them leaning up against the wall
here's another jimmy cagney talk
see how they smile
see how they smile
you can see them
dead end highways
you can feel their presence
on each and every street
the pretty young girls
with the lipstick traces
angels with dirty faces
i said angels with dirty faces
out in the street
look at them walk
look at them talk
look at their style
how they smile
look at them smile

hardly surprising giving the life he led.
Now how do you know if you never experienced?
I make no judgements.

FM,  , saw him in Pattaya a few years ago, a slaphead, he didnt look well, hardly surprising giving the life he led. What is it about Pattaya that attracts these coffin dodgers, Jimmy White, Eric Bristow etc etc, the benidorm of the east? Well rgs you must be one lucky man (or a sucker) to believe you met FM in Pattaya. Did he have an SAS bodyguard? Thanks bowie, you are correct I am wrong, You have really p**sed me off now, phoned my mate in Pattaya today, he couldnt tell me who I was thinking of. The only place I can think off is a well known bar that features yearly charity events. I can assure you bowie, it wasnt Joe Cole in Hua Hin offering me a great deal on a condo. |

Running dry. Just to say, i know little, but much more than most. Know enough not to judge. Am careful with "facts" and google is my friend. I post few opinions anymore. Music; does that have opinions? Sure. Can i change opinions? Doubt it. So enjoy the roller coaster that is death: Now to think of a toon. Any suggestions? I'll go for an end note , thanks not got the jesus bug, was born with that, thanks for being able to glimpse into others' perceptions : I dont need google, I can name the names and towns. You will NEVER read about me slagging of Western women, or any women for that matter. I wasnt ripped off in divorce courts etc etc, had plenty of free sex with english roses, makes me larf when I read the shoit some people post about, you always pay for it, well heres the honest truth, I paid ferk all, but then again, I aint some Quasimodo lookalike with bad breath, no dress sense, no personality and a effin hunchback. |

Here you go bowie, in no particular order.
Evelyn, nurse, smashing girl, differing shift patterns meant the relationship was doomed from day one.
Sue, I broker her heart, not something I am proud of, its just what happened.
Coral, banker she was headed to Sth Africa and wasnt looking for love or a full time relationship, just regualr sex, in all honesty, I was punching above my weight with her, but it worked, for the simple reason, I to was waiting to leave the UK.
Kim, her husband was working in some nuclear power plant in Pakistan, she just wanted a good shag.
All these women had one thing in common, they all had jobs, owned their own houses and cars, and never asked for a penny.

Just stream of consciousness. Then a moment, no details, but one moment. Nothing , a goodbye. This could be long, a novel, never written, because it happened. |

My friend since childhood has most of my writings.
Mainly poems , some just rambles.
I hope he outlives me, as a condition is that nothing can be published while i am alive.
Hints i give, but not of the extent of the words.
A play,perhaps would be an essence.
One i would never want to see.
Back to "White Room", he ,friend knows why.
Also why:

Epic Guitar Battle? Should have gone on together methinks Got your point. Dislike such trash musac, but that was not (i hope) your point. Actually I meant a duel ending in harmony and harmoniously. Here no duel, just fun |
