Kenny Rogers - The Gambler

[Fungi]

This is one of my favorites and lesser known by Kenny.

I think The Gambler is one of the wisest, most clever songs ever written, with several layers of meaning. Every word of it is true.

The only problem is that if you're young enough to really need the advice, you're probably also too young to realize you do need it, and also too young to figure out how to put the wisdom of the song to use in your own life. But that doesn't mean it's not worth thinking about; I certainly did, when I was young and heard The Gambler on the radio all the time.

The man who wrote The Gambler, who's name is Don Schlitz, was only 23 at the time he wrote it; this blows me away.

One of Kenney Rodgers' first big hits, 60's psychedelic rock, a lot different from his classic country style, What Condition My Condition is In

Loved this guy.

And he had GREAT corn products in his chicken shops. I mean, better than anything! Definitely better than Boston Chicken. But of course his died out basically when Seinfeld featured it. Still stuck with dull New England cooking 20 years later.

Not at all a Kenny Rogers fan after the way he treated his wife, Marianne Gordon. Mistreat your wife, and you’re my enemy.
