A friend of mine told me once, “You are such a Margot,” as in the character, Margot Tenenbaum of the Wes Anderson film, The Royal Tenenbaums. Yeah. I can see that. Bit of soundtrack trivia, while “Ruby Tuesday” features in the film, The Rolling Stones did not allow for the song’s official use in the…
