"I Don't Like Mondays" written by Bob Geldof in 1979 based on the Cleveland Elementary School shooting in San Diego. 16 yo Brenda Spencer killed two adults and injured eight children, later explaining her actions to a reporter by saying, "I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day".

As the snow starts to fall in BNA, pulling out this gem. The Boomtown Rats are #NowSpinning on Muswell Hill, TN

This record has always been high on my list since 1980. This record, London Calling, More songs about…, and Are We Not Men?, set me on the right path.

WHAT LP makes THE BOOMTOWN RATS' PETE BRIQUETTE simply feel happy? It's LOU REED'S TRANSFORMER! Particularly "PERFECT DAY"~the song that's exactly as #LouReed sang it: Being in the park w/his girl, sharing sangria, a movie...& home...a Perfect Day. How about YOU? What album makes YOU feel this way?
