Question of the Day
Okay Amy..........this is really telling on my age.
Since I am a lot older than some of you ( I am 50 years old) we are really going back. I was a teen during the AGE OF AQUARIUS. The Mamas and Papas, Captain and Tennille, the Jackson 5 and Paul Revere and the Raiders. NOW that I have gone back that far I REALLY FEEL OLD.
Have a great day
Carol



Does anyone remember that song, "Cover of the Rolling Stone?" I can't remember who sings it, but my uncle had the record. When I was little (like 6 or 7) my cousins and I would jump on the bed and sing along to that song over and over and over. When I understood some of the lyrics, I couldn't believe we sang along!
"I got a freaky old lady
named Cocaine Katy
who embroiders on my jeans.
I got my poor old gray haired daddy
Driving my limousines.
I've got all the thrills that money can buy
But the thrill I've never known
Is the thrill that'll getcha
When you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone."
I rarely hear it nowadays but when I do, I remember jumping on the bed and singing along. Years later I found out Shel Silverstein (author of "Where the Sidewalk Ends" poetry book among others) wrote the lyrics. I can't remember the name of the band that sang it though. They also had another song on the same record called "Queen of the Silver Dollar" that we used to sing.
"She's the queen of the Silver Dollar
She rules the smokey kingdom
something-something-something
And the barstool is her thrown..."
I'm going to be singing these songs all day now!
