Lukewarm Take: The advice in #KennyRogers #Gambler is pretty useless. HOW do you know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em? Knowing you need to know this isn't useful; that's obvious. The titular Gambler did not say how to know these things, what signs to look for, how to count cards, how to recognize a tell, etc.

Since he received payment (in the form of whiskey) and did not provide the service he had promised, the song should have been called "The Con Man".

But it is still a classic song. No denying that.

EDIT: I suppose I must note the Gambler merely promised "some advice", with no guarantees of utility or of what form that advice would take. So, technically, he did fulfill the terms of the contract.

The release of #Gambler quite obviously is a huge success! I love the song so it’s no surprise to me at all.
„Madonna fans are measurably thrilled that they can now purchase and stream “Gambler” without having to go through any loopholes.“ #Madonna #MusicMonday

The last time this was released was 1985! Finally a digital release, this was a song from the 1985 film “Vision Quest” soundtrack. Never released as a single in the US. Now on all digital platforms.

Turn this up motherfuckers!

The Gambler's Secret 😉

My brother and I heard this song from Kenny Rogers, and we loved it. I guess we loved it so much that we made an animation!

We gathered up some of our Western illustration and combined them in an animation!

BTW, it was such a good movie too!
