YOu actually answered your own question -- the song is about the restaurant chain. In 1966, during their tour of the US, the band was at a local eatery in Mobile, Alabama. The owner was having a dickens of a time hanging the sign "Ruby Tuesday's" above the door. The Stones pitched in and tried to help, but to no avail. The sign was just too big and heavy. As they left, Mick is rumoured to have spoken the now famous line "Good Bye Ruby Tuesday's -- who could hang a name on you" and the rest is history.

I've read in several different books that Brian & Keith wrote "Ruby Tuesday" together. The song is supposed to be about Keith's girlfriend at the time, Jewish model Linda Keith. I remember reading that their collaboration made Mick jealous. I don't think Brian received writing credit for it either. |

oh, people, I heard that music was born in Brian's flat
by Brian and Keith, and Mick wrote the lyrics about the
girl who "comes and goes away"... Mick's dreaming about
absolute girl
That is all, good bye |

Look! I was there, man...we did smoke a lot of chiba that night. But, with God as my witness, it was written by Brian & Keith! Mick was not there! And, thank you, Joey, for believing in me...you are the wind beneath my wings! |

That's pretty common knowledge by Stones fans, Joey....you didn't know that???

Anyone have a photo of this place? Is it still running? |
