VoodooChileInWOnderl The term "Rolling Stone" is older than Muddy Waters, it comes from the proverb "A rolling stone gathers no moss" and it talsk about someone who is unstable and change short term objectives from time to time, change jobs, etc

"somebody who is incapable of staying in the same job or place for very long"

"A rolling stones gather no moss but lots of money Ronnie"

Ten Thousand Motels >How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?<

Ten Thousand Motels Well, I wish I was a catfish,
swimmin in a oh, deep, blue sea
I would have all you good lookin women,
fishin, fishin after me
Sure 'nough, a-after me
Sure 'nough, a-after me
Oh 'nough, oh 'nough, sure 'nough

I went to my baby's house,
and I sit down oh, on her steps.
She said, "Now, come on in now, Muddy
You know, my husband just now left
Sure 'nough, he just now left
Sure 'nough, he just now left"
Sure 'nough, oh well, oh well

Well, my mother told my father,
just before hmmm, I was born,
"I got a boy child's comin,
He's gonna be, he's gonna be a rollin stone,
Sure 'nough, he's a rollin stone
Sure 'nough, he's a rollin stone"
Oh well he's a, oh well he's a, oh well he's a

Well, I feel, yes I feel,
feel that a low down time ain't long
I'm gonna catch the first thing smokin,
back, back down the road I'm goin
Back down the road I'm goin
Back down the road I'm goin
Sure 'nough back, sure 'nough back

guitarman53 In the Oxford Dictionary, it says a Rolling Stone is a person who is unwilling to settle for long in one place.

Yeah, that's it.

What?
You don't recall that lyric?
Well pull up a chair, hot shot!
Smoke a fatty, and read on!

**************************

What Do You Want From Life
Spooner/Evans

What do you want from life
To kidnap an heiress
or threaten her with a knife
What do you want from life
To get cable TV
and watch it every night

There you sit
a lump in your chair
Where do you sleep
and what do you wear
when you're sleeping

What do you want from life
An Indian guru
to show you the inner light
What do you want from life
a meaningless love affair
with a girl that you met tonight

How can you tell when you're doin' alright
Does your bank account swell
While you're dreaming at night
How do know when you're really in love
Do violins play when you're touching the one
That you're loving

What do you want from life
Someone to love
and somebody that you can trust
What do you want from life
To try and be happy
while you do the nasty things you must

Well, you can't have that, but if you're an American citizen you are entitled to:
a heated kidney shaped pool,
a microwave oven--don't watch the food cook,
a Dyna-Gym--I'll personally demonstrate it in the privacy of your own home,
a king-size Titanic unsinkable Molly Brown waterbed with polybendum,
a foolproof plan and an airtight alibi,
real simulated Indian jewelry,
a Gucci shoetree,
a year's supply of antibiotics,
a personally autographed picture of Randy Mantooth
and Bob Dylan's new unlisted phone number,
a beautifully restored 3rd Reich swizzle stick,
Rosemary's baby,
a dream date in kneepads with Paul Williams,
a new Matador, a new mastodon,
a Maverick, a Mustang, a Montego,
a Merc Montclair, a Mark IV, a meteor,
a Mercedes, an MG, or a Malibu,
a Mort Moriarty, a Maserati, a Mac truck,
a Mazda, a new Monza, or a moped,
a Winnebago--Hell, a herd of Winnebago's we're giving 'em away,
or how about a McCulloch chainsaw,
a Las Vegas wedding,
a Mexican divorce,
a solid gold Kama Sutra coffee pot,
or a baby's arm holding an apple?

andrews27 HE MEANT "A FULL-GROWN MAN!"

A MAN WHO "JUST CAN'T BE SATISFIED."

THIS WAS MUDDY'S SOLE "GREAT THEME."

LIKE BO DIDDLEY'S WAS "HEY, BO DIDDLEY!"

BUT MUDDY'S GREAT THEME WAS SLIGHTLY MORE NUANCED...

Bitch A Rolling Stone can only be British, according to MICK. Thats the rule. No other person from country is worthy enough to become an "Official" ROLLING STONE!

The Brits think that, huh? Superior country of the world. I guess its true in many ways, the most sophisticated from the early years of society. The best of everything, including musicians. Anyone want to dispute it? OK the Italians have the best food.

Strawberry Fields sincere apologies in advance to anyone worshiping at the altar of mick jaggers golden moneycow, but do you really think there is any chance the rotten stones could ever release a song which would top obladi oblada?
