Every Monday I shuffle my entire MP3 collection in iTunes and list the first ten songs that play. Here are the ten tunes I heard today with a personal story about one of them.
- Don't Be Afraid To Sing - Stars
- Hey Man, Nice Shot - Filter
- Welcome To This World - Primus
- Sweet Soul Sister - The Cult
- Helpless - Neil Young
- Warning Sign - Coldplay
- Springfield Soul Stew - The Simpsons
- Peace Out - Boogie Down Productions
- Death Letter - Son House
- Trouble - Coldplay
I've always really liked Filter's "Hey Man, Nice Shot". When it first came out, I used to sing it in my head every time I took a shot at the basketball net. The song because associated in my head with basketball, until I stumbled upon the truth.
In actuality, "Hey Man, Nice Shot" is a reaction to the public suicide of Budd Dwyer, a politician who shot himself on live television. I haven't associated "Hey Man, Nice Shot" with basketball since.
