“Our 19th Nervous Breakdown”
Well, the Bonita Springs International Film Festival (BIFF) just accepted “The Stairs”.
This is our 19th win. In honor of win number 19, I immediately YouTube, The Stones 1966 hit song, Nineteenth Nervous Breakdown. My head bobs to the beat. I recall some of the words.
I sing out loud:
You better stop, look around,
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes.
Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown.
I try to figure out the song’s message.
I Google and study the lyrics.
Jagger dating some really messed-up chick. He tries to change her (It is easier to turn water into wine) and realizes instead of her behavior modifying, she driving him nuts. (Universal theme—like we haven’t all been there.)
Well, thank you BIFF for your acceptance and letting me take a trip back to 1966 with one of my favorite bands and learn what one of their songs was all about.
For those interested in going to the festival the dates are January 26-29, 2017.
Hope to see you there.
