Butch Cassidy's bicycle ride of 'Raindrops keep falling on my head' surely has to be the best version, and appropriate tune?

Joy Division - Atmosphere

Also with quite possibly one of the greatest intro's ever.

The west is finished - Jim Rogers
Created: 17 November 2008 Updated: 1 December 2008 Written by: Jonathan Eley

After an intercontinental flight, a conference speech and a hectic book signing session, Jim Rogers looks a tired guy when I meet him. But the American investment guru and co-founder (with George Soros) of the Quantum fund still talks a good talk, with the infectious confidence of a man who has been right more often than wrong.

Jim Rogers: Top Investor and Co-Founder of Quantum Fund
(December 04, 2008)

Q. How did you first get interested in trading?
A. Investing. I stumbled onto Wall Street. In 1964, I had just finished college and was going on to graduate school. I got a summer job through a guy I met, who happened to work for a Wall Street firm. I didn't know anything about Wall Street at the time. I didn't know the difference between stocks and bonds. I didn't even know that there was a difference between stocks and bonds. All I knew about Wall Street was that it was somewhere in New York and something unpleasant had happened there in 1929. After that summer, I went to Oxford during 1964-1966. Whereas all the Americans I knew at Oxford were interested in politics, I was more interested in reading the Financial Times.

Jim Rogers Creates New ETF

Wed, Dec 31, 2008

Misc.

Via ETF trends:

“The Rogers Van Eck Hard Assets Producers Index (RVEI) gives investors a chance to ride the commodities bull by accessing a universe of producers from all over the world. Most of the index’s components are producers of raw materials for agriculture, alternative energy, base and industrial metals, energy, forest products and precious metals.”

Whats included in the new index?

“His new index is a global one made up of 39 countries, meant to truly capture the global commodities boom, because countries such as the United States and Canada aren’t the only major producers. The United States is 35.8% of the fund and Canada is 12%. Britain is 5.9%, Russia is 5.1%, China is 4.8% and Brazil is 4.1%. Another 33 countries make up the remaining 32%”

"Up On The Roof" The Drifter's





When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now

When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)
I get away from the hustling crowd
And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)
On the roof, the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)

brief instrumental-chiefly strings

At night the stars put on a show for free
And, darling, you can share it all with me

I keep a-tellin' you

Right smack dab in the middle of town
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof)
And if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Up on the roo-oo-oof (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)

[Fade]

Musical Youth - Pass the Dutchie Lyrics



This generation
Rules the nation
With version

Music happen to be the food of love
Sounds to really make you rub and scrub

I say: Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

It was a cool and lovely breezy afternoon
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
You could feel it 'cause it was the month of June
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
So I left my gate and went out for a walk
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
As I pass the dreadlocks' camp I heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)

Ol' Man River


Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River
He must know somepin', but he don't say nothin'
He just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along

He don't plant taters, and he don't plant cotton
And them what plants 'em is soon forgotten
But Ol' Man River, jest keeps rollin' along

You and me, we sweat and strain
Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bale
Ya get a little drunk and ya lands in ja-ail

I gets weary and so sick of tryin'
I'm tired of livin', but I'm feared of dyin'
And Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin' along

Can't Give You Anything (but My Love) lyrics by The Stylistics




If I had money I'd go wild buy you furs dress you like a queen
And in a chauffered limousine
We'd look so fine.
But I'm an ordinary guy and my pockets are empty
Just an ordinary guy
But I'm yours till I die.

I can't give you anything
But my love
But my love
I can't give you anything
But my love
But my love.

I cannot promise you the world
Can't afford any fancy things
I cannot buy you diamond rings
No string of pearls.
But my devotion I will give all my life just to you girl
My devotion I will give for as long as I live.

I can't give you anything. but my love. but my love . . .
