RG3 Like a Rolling Stone - This Week in Classic Rock


Dan T.

Recommended Posts

This ended up with a much more bitter tone than I intended, but hey, the originial song just oozes bitterness. I know we'll be singing a song of redemption in the not-too-distant future. But for now... 

 

Once upon a time you played so fine

Threw the up and out to Pierre on time, didn't you ?

People'd call, say, "Protect the ball, you're bound to fall"

You thought they were all kiddin' you

You used to laugh about

Sleepy Davis running the wrong route

Now you don't talk so loud

Now you don't seem so proud

About having to be resting your mended wheel.

 

How does it feel

How does it feel

To lose again

Benched at three and ten

Like a complete unknown

Like a rolling stone?

 

You've done the finest run of 7 in a row, Mr. Lonely

It was heaven but for only the part where your leg got bruised a bit.

And nobody has ever taught you how to ride the pine

And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it

You said you'd never compromise

With the starting spot, but now you realize

Mike's just selling all his alibis

As he’s fighting for his coaching life

And you say you never played the heel?

 

How does it feel

How does it feel

To be on your own

Is dad calling home?

If so hang up the phone.

Like a rolling stone.

 

You never turned around to see the media jugglers and the clowns

When they all picked apart every word from you

You never understood that it ain't no good

To give the scribes reason to get their kicks at you

You used to ride the wave of fame

When it was all such an easy game

Ain't it hard when you discover that

Despite Year One you might not be All That

And Kirk’s on the field keeping it real?

 

How does it feel

How does it feel

To be on the bench

Like a former mensch

Like a rolling stone?

lol Like a Rolling Stone. Wasn't even paying attention lol

 

I stand by my comments though. :D

 

 

"Papa Was a Rolling Stone"... another GREAT song. And coincidentally, the latest rumor is that RG3 had 3 outside children and another wife. And that ain't right.)

In case you missed it, last month Dylan unveiled the first music video for "Like a Rolling Stone," which he recorded in 1965.  It is a very clever music vid  -  surf through all 16 TV channels, and see what happens...

And here's a short piece related to how they made it...

Even though Kirk looked really good yesterday, I've softened on RG3...

 

(With a nod to Lennon and McCartney):

 

Let Him Be

 

When I find my team in times of trouble
Vince Lombardi comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, RG3.
Though in Rob’s hour of darkness
Kirk is playing right in front of me
Throwing for 380, 3 TDs
Let him be let him be,

Let him be, RG3
He will be the answer, RG3.

And when the broken hearted Redskins
In the locker room agree
There will be an answer, RG3
For though Kirk may have started
There is still a chance that we will see
There will be an answer, RG3
Let him be, let him be
Let him be, RG3
Yeah he will be the answer, RG3

And when the team is crummy
There is still a guy that wants to be
The QB of tomorrow, RG3.
I wake up to the sound of Czaben,
****ing wide and openly
Speaking words of morons, let him be
Yeah let him be, let him be
Let him be, yeah let him be
Oh he will be the answer, RG3.
