The song was quite descriptive: \nPapa was a rolling stone\nWhereever he lay his hat was his home.\n\nThink it came from the saying "a rolling stone gathers no moss".\n\nBasically it means someone moves around so often he doesn't stay long enough in a place feel rooted anywhere.

The Meaning of The Song:\n\n\nWhile there is no clear reference or explanation of the song's lyrics, the lyrics itself are self explanatory: the song centers around a man's relationship with his girlfriend, and his observations about her wild and reckless behaviour including overindulging in alcohol or drugs. The song also contains numerous references to their active sex life and partying lifestyle. The imagery of the man's girlfriend "passed out on the deck", "pass[ing] the check" and other lyrics certainly paint the picture of fun.\n\nIn a lyrical trick, the observations of the man about his likes of his relationship with his girlfriend at the start of the song (e.g. "I love the places that we go, I love the people that you know") are in the second verse turned into the very same things he dislikes about her and their relationship. Other subtleties of their relationship, such as sex ("I like the white stains on your dress" or "I like your pants around your feet") or rough sex ("I love your lack of self-respect while you're passed out on the deck, I love my hands around your neck") give way to his dissatisfaction with the same behavior he found appealing at the start of the song ("I love the good times that you wreck").\n\nBEST ANSWER?????????

It was a term used in the early 1950s among blacks to denote having sex.  The music that was emerging at that time immitated the rhythm of a couple having sex and thus black musicians began calling that music "rocking and rolling".  But it wasn't until Cleveland disk jockey Alan Freed used the term on his Moondog Coronation Ball radio program that it caught on nation wide.

The band came into being in 1962 when former schoolmates Jagger and Richards met Brian Jones, who named the band after the title of the Muddy Waters song "Rolling Stone". The original line-up included Jagger (vocals), Jones (guitar, harmonica, vocals), Richards (guitar), Ian "Stu" Stewart (piano), Mick Avory (drums) and Dick Taylor (bass). Taylor left shortly after to return to art school, and was later to form The Pretty Things. He was replaced by Bill Wyman. Another early part-time member was influential drummer Carlo Little, who was with Cyril Davies All Stars.

It might mean you're listening to a song of that name by a popular '70's group, "Deep Purple".\n\nHere's the inspiration for the lyrics:\nThe lyrics of the song tell a true story: on December 7, 1971, Deep Purple had set up camp at Montreux, Switzerland to record an album using a mobile recording studio (rented from the Rolling Stones and known as the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio) at the entertainment complex that was part of the Montreux Casino (referred to as "the gambling house" in the song lyric). On the eve of the recording session a concert featuring Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention was held in the casino's theatre; during the concert a fire broke out (said to be caused by a Swiss fan shooting a flare gun in the ceiling, as mentioned in the "some stupid with a flare gun" line) that eventually destroyed the entire casino complex, along with all the Mothers' equipment. The "smoke on the water" that became the title of the song (credited to bass player Roger Glover, who related how the title occurred to him when he suddenly woke from a dream a few days later) referred to the smoke from the fire spreading over Lake Geneva from the burning casino as the members of Deep Purple watched the fire from their hotel across the lake. The "funky Claude" running in and out is referring to Claude Nobs, the director of the Montreux Jazz Festival who helped some of the audience to escape the fire.

The meaning is that the son is always very much like their parents.\nAs an example,the sentence below implies that both father and daughter are on the tipsy  side of life.\n\nLooks like the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, as Bush's daughter is cited for alcohol possession.

American Pie" is an eight-and-a-half minute long classic rock song by singer-songwriter Don McLean, about "the day the music died."\n\nRecorded in 1971 and released that year on the album of the same name, the single was a number-one U.S. hit for four weeks in 1972. The song is an allusive history of rock and roll that starts with the deaths of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J. P. Richardson, Jr. (The Big Bopper) in a plane crash in 1959, and ends in 1970. .\n\nThe song's lyrics are subject of much debate. Although McLean dedicated the American Pie album to Buddy Holly, none of the singers in the plane crash are identified by name in the song itself. Music performers are also alluded to with easily decoded identifications, leading to much discussion, encouraged by McLean's canny lifelong refusal to explain the lyrics. Asked what "American Pie" meant, McLean once replied, "It means I never have to work again." Later, he more seriously stated, "You will find many 'interpretations' of my lyrics but none of them by me Sorry to leave you all on your own like this but long ago I realized that songwriters should make their statements and move on, maintaining a dignified silence.\n\nhope that is of some use.\nPHIL

His popularity had already peaked.  Rolling Stone started I believe in the late sixties, when older singers like Darin were considered pretty uncool.  No offense intended.
