Some items that recently found their way into my wheelhouse as opposed to my wheelchair.  Not yet anyway.

When Mick first sang this tune in 1965 he noted that the rinsed-out blonde beside him at the bar “was common, flirty, she looked about thirty.”  Note here (below) how he modified that lyric in 1995 (2:15 mark) to say “she was nifty, thrifty, she looked about fifty.”  Wonder what he, at age 76, would sing today: “she was crazy, weighty, she looked about eighty.”
