Personal one. 'Used to tell this one to the daughters about inequities of living in the semi-ritzy burbs, but will flavour it for the Lounge.

"Rule No. 1; Life ain't fair."

That is why people with no talent get chosen to be pop idols and make tens of millions of dollars and vast fame...

...and you woodshed to become even a mediocre player and scrimp to save for a new thousand-dollar guitar and amp.

And why some guy or girl has cerebral palsy and was wanted for decades, desperately to play guitar but can't even hold a spoon to feed him or herself.

Best of fortune in conquering your ennui.

Location: In a house....unless I'm at work....then I'm in a shop.
I will give it a go........

Life is like a box of Chocolate Exlax, it may taste sweet at times, but in the end it will all turn to......

The definition of insanity is try the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome.

You will never find a Harley park in front of a Therapists office. (Unless he rode into work)

There are two theories of how to win an argument with a women...neither work.

A man is not complete until he is married and has children.......Then he is finished.

And lastly,

Of all the things I have lost or misplaced in my life, It is my mind I miss the most.

I doubt this helped you for a song, but laughter can do wonderful things to the mind, even help you forget you had a block and let whats in you flow out.
