How'd I come up with the idea for this meme? That's simple:
A. Today is Tuesday.
B. I was thinking of participating in some meme – preferably a Tuesday one since today is Tuesday.
C. Somehow, in my always musical head, the Rolling Stones song Ruby Tuesday started playing:
Ruby Tuesday
She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter because it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows, she comes and then she goes
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who is gonna hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Don't ask her why she needs to be so free
She's gonna tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost, but such a cost
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who is gonna hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
"There's no time to lose", I heard her say
You gotta catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams and you may lose your mind
Is life unkind?
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who is gonna hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who is gonna hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
– Written in 1966 by Keith Richards (and possibly Brian Jones)
For added inspiration, here's a clip of Melanie performing the song:
Here's a story I wrote - A Trip to Ruby City.
ReplyDeleteLeon, I accept the invitation! And the reason I'm so late is I just got my Internet access back! I've been incommunicado since last Sunday! Now I don't know if I want to wait til Tuesday or do it now so give me a little time. And then I'll pass it on to others, okay?
ReplyDeleteLeon, the Ruby Tuesday meme is up for you to see if you like. :D
