#4 Honky Tonk Women (The Rolling Stones) 👍🏼

Lyrics
I met a gin-soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
‘Cause I just can’t seem to drink you off my mind🪄
It’s the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues🪄
I laid a divorcée in New York City
I had to put up some kind of a fight
The lady then she covered me with roses
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind🪄
It’s the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
It’s the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues🪄
It’s the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

Taking the Cure: Bathing Pleasures

“There must be quite a few things a hot bath won’t cure, but I don’t know many of them.”

Sylvia Plath (American Poet and Author; October 27th, 1932 to February 11th, 1963)

“…a kind of mystic ceremony substituted for religious worship.”

Ambrose Bierce (American author and journalist; June 24th, 1842 to January 1914)

“My philosophy in life is very simple: when in doubt, take a bath.”

“I grew up as a swimmer and have been immersing myself in various bodies of water my whole life. Baths for me are a self-nurturing reset and not for cleansing.“

–Ban Breathnach, Sarah. “Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy”. Grand Central Publishing. (1976). Kindle Page 125 to 126 of 501.
