You can't touch this

[Burt Munro]

I suddenly realized that this particular song might actually be about something more than a man's affection for his gal.
 

I know the feeling!  Jackson Browne is one of my favorite singers and one of my favorite songs of his is 'Rosie'.  I think I went several years before I realized that 'Rosie' was not his girl's name:

She was standing at the load-in
When the trucks rolled up
She was sniffing all around
Like a half grown female pup
She wasn't hard to talk to
Looked like she had nowhere to go
So i gave her my pass
So she could get in and see the show

Well i sat her down right next to me
And i got her a beer
While i mixed that sound on stage
So the band could hear
The more i watched her watch them play
The less i could think of to say
And when they walked off stage
The drummer swept that girl away

But rosie you're all right -- you wear my ring
When you hold me tight -- rosie that's my thing
When you turn out the light -- i've got to hand it to me
Looks like it's me and you again tonight rosie

Well i guess i might have known from the start
She'd come for a star
Might have told my imagination not to run too far
Of all the times that i've been burned
By now you'd think i'd have learned
That it's who you look like
Not who you are

But rosie you're all right -- you wear my ring
When you hold me tight -- rosie that's my thing
When you turn out the light -- i've got to hand it to me
Looks like it's me and you again tonight rosie

[H-man]

So.... what or who is Rosie?

[spyderchick]

A groupie.  ;)

[H-man]

Huh?

Then why the line "But rosie you're all right -- you wear my ring"?  And why's WannaBe confused?

I thought it was a p/u gal too, but I'm not so sure.  An ode to one of his hands maybe?

[spyderchick]

He later fell in love and married her. Yeah, right. It's a song! It's fairy tale...Men!

[H-man]

Uh, okay.

Sort of the tamer, more romantic version of Rick James' "Super Freak".

Wow!  Full circle to the tune for the thread's title song.

Spooky

Actually, I think Rosie's last name was Palm :o

.....When you turn out the light -- i've got to hand it to me

 I was just pretending to be a bit obtuse.

No wise cracks >:(

None required.... ;)

Since your such a Dylan fan.. you should have something like that put on the back of your leathers...

Why thank you, I already had a lovely lady do that for me.  She does good work too! ;) :)

Ooh, I'm gonna need a new Spyderleatherworks sticker for next summer.  I love that design and I have to repaint the bike to keep up appearances.

BTW, I'm typing this from Colorado where I'm making good on a promise to my 14 yr old to take him snowboarding this weekend.  I don't know how I think I can just jump into these things and do them but here I am.

I checked into the hotel last night and they put me up in Room 333.  Yikes, I hope no one plows into from behind!  This could be K3's revenge!!

Sorry for the threadjack H...

Ain't nothing wrong with that :)  Just remember: they don't have airfences on the trees, so no superman moves ala T4 last summer. ;D  

Hope you're having fun out there.
