March 2 - Sister Morphine

I had planned on staying in 1991 for a while, and I am sure I will be back in 1991 again sooner rather than later, but after spending yet another day in the hospital, I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate my favorite opiate, morphine, as I am hoping it will help Christine sleep through the night. Now I am only advocating the medical use of morphine as prescribed and monitored by a physician, but Mick Jagged and Keith Richards were looking at completely different uses when they wrote Sister Morphine back in 1968. It was originally released by Marianne Faithful in 1968, but a version found its way to my favorite Stones album, Sticky Fingers, back in 1971.
