Great song. No reason whatsoever why I’m posting it.

Never need any specific reason to post a wonderful hit like this.

Fantastic song. I can detect no connections to anything other than a really great song.

The song was written about the public suicide of Pennsylvania state treasurer R. Budd Dwyer on January 22, 1987, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Dwyer had been convicted of bribery charges in December 1986, and was expected to receive a lengthy sentence from U.S. District Court Judge Malcolm Muir. Professing his innocence and decrying the legal system, Dwyer shot and killed himself with a .357 Magnum revolver during a live televised press conference. -Wikipedia

Bribery seems like such a quaint, old-timey thing to be punished for strongly enough to warrant suicide.. (in the us anyway)

I remember watching this vhs when I was 13. The video today reminded me of it. So much blood.

I love having no particular reason to enjoy this stellar song. I look forward to more no reasons in the future

Mamdani better keep his head low tomorrow. It's 9/11 and there's definitely danger of another event.
