Well, let me tell ya ’bout this fella, David Ruffin. Folks say he was a Capricorn, born on January 18, 1941. Now, I don’t know much about them fancy zodiac signs, but they say it tells ya somethin’ ’bout a person.
What’s this Capricorn business anyway? Sounds like somethin’ you’d catch if you weren’t wearin’ your long johns in the winter, you know? But they say it means he was an Earth sign. Earth, like the dirt we plant our taters in. They say folks with Earth signs are practical, not too emotional. Well, I reckon that makes sense. You gotta be practical to get by in this world, ain’t that the truth?
They got these things called planets and houses too. I’m tellin’ ya, it’s more complicated than puttin’ up a fence! They say lookin’ at these planets and houses can tell ya ’bout a person’s personality and all that. Like, were they bossy? Were they kind? Did they like their eggs scrambled or fried? I ain’t sure how it all works, but some folks swear by it.
This Capricorn thing, they say it makes ya hardworking. Well, I guess that fits David Ruffin, considerin’ he was a singer and all. Singin’ ain’t easy work, let me tell ya. You gotta stand up there on that stage, under them hot lights, and belt out them tunes. It’s harder than milkin’ cows all day, I’d wager.
- Earth Sign: Means he was down to earth, like us country folk.
- Hardworking: Like I said, singin’ ain’t no easy job.
- Practical: Probably didn’t go around spendin’ his money on foolishness.
Now, some folks say your zodiac sign can tell ya ’bout your relationships too. Who you get along with, who you don’t. It’s like tryin’ to match up a rooster with a hen, I guess. Some matches work, some don’t. I don’t know if David Ruffin paid much mind to that stuff, but it’s somethin’ folks talk about.
They say this zodiac stuff is like a mirror, showin’ ya who you are inside. Strengths, weaknesses, all that. Helps ya understand yourself better, they say. Well, I reckon I understand myself just fine without lookin’ at the stars. But maybe for some folks, it helps ’em make sense of things. And from what they told me, Capricorn is like a strong old mule—reliable, strong and gets the job done.
I heard there are all sorts of zodiac signs. Each one’s got its own thing goin’ on. Like different kinds of vegetables in the garden, ya know? Some are spicy, some are sweet, some are just plain bland. This Capricorn one, they say it’s a serious one. Not much for foolin’ around. Well, I guess that’s alright. The world needs serious folks too, not just a bunch of clowns.
So, this David Ruffin fella, he was a Capricorn. Whether that means somethin’ or not, I can’t rightly say. But it’s somethin’ people like to talk about. Maybe it helped him become a good singer, maybe it didn’t. All I know is, he had a voice that could make the angels sing, and that’s good enough for me. Makes me think about his birth date though, you know. Makes a person wonder how all that stuff about the sky and birth dates makes a man sing like that, I reckon.
They say you can even tell people’s ages and all from that zodiac stuff, like compatibility or what year they were born. Me, I can’t remember my own birthday most of the time, let alone what the stars were doin’ when I was born. But some folks like this David Ruffin fella have their birth day on record. And so they dig into all the sky stuff and come out sayin’ all kinds of things. I tell ya, I don’t know much about it, and I don’t care for it much either. But I do know good singin’ when I hear it, and Mr Ruffin, he sure had good singin’ in his soul.
Now, they talk about unlocking secrets of your zodiac sign, sounds like somethin’ you’d do with a rusty old lock on the smokehouse. All this talk about the sun, the moon, and rising signs… it just makes my head spin. Back in my day, the only sign that mattered was whether the rooster crowed before dawn or not! But I guess it’s good that people find meaning in these things. And if it helped David Ruffin understand himself better, that’s a good thing too.
