I drag the cd out every few weeks, crank up the volume and scare the f*ck out of my cats.

Guess what, the first time I heard that song was a few years ago done as a cover version by Metallica, really quite a heavy one at that, it's such an awesome song, I'm there listening to it thinking, nah, they must have written this, it seems so personal it's the kind of thing the singer (James) would have been through.
You would probably not like the cover and I may not like the original, but it's amazing how music carries so much of your lives in just a few minutes and then can be brought back when we need it.

Thanks for adding something to this post, as for those 2; I expected more from them, to be the first ones to get the boot in, it saddens me, you try to bring peace and love to a war zone, something personal to the board, I'm off to the MT now to report them!

There was a slight element of getting something off my chest (and we are not talking a Cleveland Steamer here either!) and being pleased with myself that I'd had a nice drive and thought about my music for a bit and what it means.
