4. lol, this is what jumped into my head when I saw this

Spoonful
Written & Recorded by Willie Dixon (1960)

"It could be a spoonful of coffee
It could be a spoonful of tea
But one little spoon of your precious love
Is good enough for me

Men lie about that spoonful
Some cry about that spoonful
Some die about that spoonful
Everybody fight about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

It could be a spoonful of water
To save you from the desert sand
But one spoon of lead from my forty-five
Will save you from another man

Men lie about that spoonful
Some cry about that spoonful
Some die about that spoonful
Everybody fight about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

It could be a spoonful of sugar
It could be a spoonful of tea
But one little spoon of your precious love
Is good enough for me

Men lie about that spoonful
Some cry about that spoonful
Some die about that spoonful
Everybody fight about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

It could be a spoonful of sugar
It could be a spoonful of tea
But one little spoon of your precious love
Is good enough for me"

only if you think this meaning of this song is narcotic instead of romantic. That's how I experience DU. It's great, but damned addicitive.

6. I see it as both narcotic and romantic but also political

The spoonful could be many things maybe a fix ,a heart, or power.
I am glad you are here idg.
You are a nice person and a du treasure :)

7. a political fix, lol

thanks for the kind words, I feel more like a DU curmudgeon most of the time, but someone has to do it, lol.

I'm proud to be apart of this cool organization and I'm proud to be a liberal! At least we have to comfort of knowing we didn't oppose things like the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts... :) :woohoo:
