For those days when you feel pissed off at the entire multidimensional causality of all creation (i don’t like that _at all_), what song(s) do you hear in your head? for me, when i’m understaffed at work, work piling up in the back\*, and being constantly barraged by incessant, never ending phone calls that make me long for my 12-gauge shotgun “answeing machine” ;), i hear the following 2 songs on heavy rotation… Twisted Sister’s “We’re not gonna’ take it!” George Thorogood’s “Bad to the bone” Metallica’s (actually, the Anti-Nowhere League, if you want to get technical…) “So What!” as i visualize going on a “Sledgehammer Concerto” on the stupid, smegging, bloody frelling piece of dren phones\*\*… \*to silence the pedants, i’m posting this at lunch, get off my back! \*\*can you tell i _REALLY_ hate phones? 😉 ---

I’m embarrassed to admit you into the cliche that is my brain, but it’s “You Oughtta Know” by the Ironic One herself. It’s just so damn cathartic. ---

“(You Got) The Touch” by Stan Bush, when I’m at the end of my rope, pushed too far, taken it for too long, and ready to fight back and make a stand. Not so much an “I’m pissed off” song as a “You’ve called down the thunder? Well now you’ve got it!” song. ---
