The Legend of
Ruben MacBlue

By Billy the Kid

Listen to the Song
The Legend of Ruben MacBlue

He went to college for science and math
But learned how to party instead
He threw the best parties in town
His reputation was widespread

He hitch-hiked out to California
And partied round the clock
He got a job that was too cool
Chauffeur for Iggy Pop
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
[CHORUS]
His magazine was built from Scratch
A social media so clever
It started Hollywood's rock explosion
The greatest music scene ever
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Bob Seger sang about Hollywood Nights
With a girl in the Hollywood Hills
And it was Ruben's life, for real
At the Rainbow Bar and Grill

He walked his girl along beach
Then one day he woke up alone
The fun was gone, and so was his girl
The king of party had lost his throne
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
[CHORUS]
His magazine was built from Scratch
A social media so clever
It started Hollywood's rock explosion
The greatest music scene ever
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
But have no fear, from what we hear
His parties were rock and roll
From blues to punk to heavy metal
He gave Hollywood its soul
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
From Scratch Mag to Rock City News
The bands, the clubs, and parties too
He built a scene for all time
The legend of Ruben MacBlue
