Dedicated to The Rolling Stones
This week I could not believe my students never heard about The Rolling Stones and Mick Jagger! At the same time they are walking around with pins of the Corporate Slave, "Tony the Tiger."
So I am introducing three songs: "Ruby Tuesday", "Under MY Thumb", and "Angie" in case you don't know?
Story of The Rolling Stones
The Rolling Stones are a globally popular English musical group that was part of the "British Invasion" popularization of British pop & rock music in the early 1960s. The band was formed in London in 1962 by Brian Jones, and eventually was led by the songwriting partnership of singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards. The group began playing American Blues, R&B and Rock n' Roll, and later ventured into other genres including country, psychedelia, Reggae, and disco. The Stones' image of unkempt and surly youth is one many musicians still emulate. During their 1969 American tour, the Stones were introduced and have often since been referred to as "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World." The band has released 29 albums of original work and compilations, and has had 37 top-10 singles. In 1989 the Rolling Stones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2004 The Rolling Stones were ranked #4 in Rolling Stone Magazine's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. (Wikipedia)

Ruby Tuesday (The Rolling Stones)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =avx4JWKw00Y
She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes
Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...
Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you its the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothings gained
And nothings lost
At such a cost
There's no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Aint life unkind?
Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...
"Under My Thumb" (The Rolling Stones)

Under my thumb
"Under My Thumb" (The Rolling Stones)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =eGxmsI91JVk
Under my thumb
The girl who once had me down
Under my thumb
The girl who once pushed me around
It's down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Ain't it the truth babe?
Under my thumb
The squirmin dog who's just had her day
Under my thumb
A girl who has just changed her ways
It's down to me, yes it is
The way she does just what shes told
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb
Ah, ah, say its alright
Under my thumb
A siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb
She's the sweetest, hmmm, pet in the world
It's down to me
The way she talks when shes spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
Shes under my thumb
Ah, take it easy babe
Yeah
It's down to me, oh yeah
The way she talks when shes spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Yeah, it feels alright
Under my thumb
Her eyes are just kept to herself
Under my thumb, well i
I can still look at someone else
It's down to me, oh thats what I said
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Say, its alright.
Say its all...Say its all...
Take it easy babe
Take it easy babe
Feels alright
Take it, take it easy babe
"Angie"

Angie, angie, when will those clouds all disappear?
"Angie"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =-21QK9F1NWc
Angie, angie, when will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, angie, where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say were satisfied
But angie, angie, you cant say we never tried
Angie, you're beautiful, but ain't it time we said good-bye?
Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear:Angie, angie, where will it lead us from here?
Let me whisper in your ear:Angie, angie, where will it lead us from here?
Oh, angie, dont you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But angie, angie, aint it time we said good-bye?
But angie, angie, aint it time we said good-bye?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say were satisfied
But angie, I still love you, baby
Everywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you
Come on baby, dry your eyes
But angie, angie, aint it good to be alive?
Angie, angie, they cant say we never tried
