Side B and a Different Compilation

 Apropos of my recent post wherein I started a playlist dedicated to some foul and toxic ghouls I have had the misfortune to have in my life who have caused me some distress, I now continue with Side B of the Melodic Misery:

1.Gonna Get Along Without You Now by Viola Ellis. It looks like that's what I'm going to have to do.

2. Another Bloody Motherfucking Asshole by Martha Wainwright. The lass has issues.

3. You Can Go to Hell by Alice Cooper. Often the people to whom this sentiment is directed are the most self-righteous prigs to ever manifest as carbon-based lifeforms. This situation is no exception to the rule.

4. Why'd Ya Do It? by Marianne Faithfull. The lyrics don't actually apply to my personal situation but the question is one I'd like to ask to some certain reproachable scum-dumpsters whose reprehensible actions contributed to a difficult situation for me. And speaking of those lyrics, have you read them? All I can say is: OUCH!

5. Instant Karma by John Lennon. 'Instant karma's gonna get you...'. Hopefully, right between the teeth. Hopefully, I will get to see it. 

6. Respectable by the Rolling Stones. Dedicated to the social climbers and nose-in-the-air types who think they're so much better than everybody else. Like the song says, 'Get out of my life/Don't come back.'

But enough of Side B. Let's look at Side A of my playlist that is dedicated to the loved family and friends that supported me over the past few weeks. By the way, I know it's been a few weeks since things came to a head, but I haven't been blogging - don't worry, haven't been stewing - I just made myself a goal to write about this and haven't. To the friends and family that supported me:

1. Thank You for Being a Friend by Andrew Gold. It's a no-brainer that I'd pick this, but I mean it.

2. You're a friend of Mine by Jackson Browne and Clarence Clemons. You people are friends of mine and you've helped me through a difficult and hurtful period.

3. Just Got Lucky by Jo Boxers. I did get lucky when you guys came into my life.

4. Waiting on a Friend by the Rolling Stones. 'I need someone I can turn to.' I know, with you guys, that I have that someone.

Oh well, not much else to report. Have a niggly headache which I suspect is a side effect from the A-Z vaccine shot I had yesterday. It hasn't bothered me too badly, but I did wake up aching and with a miasmic malaise that hung around like a cloud of insects around a street lamp for pretty much the entire day. So, I will either get my hot water bottle and crawl into bed, or watch another episode of Puberty Blues on Netflix and then crawl into bed. 'Nick off, ya moll; before I smash ya!'
