DazedAndConfused's picture

This is one of the most haunting songs I've ever heard. This song has to be about MLC, depression, divorce, etc. It starts with a male voice on the left and the female voice on the right. After the crosses, the sides switch.

"For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happenend which unleashed the power of our imagination. »more»

DazedAndConfused's picture

Boomers to This Year's Grads: We Are Really, Really Sorry

Wesley's picture

When I graduated college many years ago the economy was in the dumps, unemployment was up as was inflation, pollution was out of control and in the past few years we had 2 major oil crises.

The complete title is "I Hate People!: Kick Loose from the Overbearing and Underhanded Jerks at Work and Get What You Want Out of Your Job" and it is certainly not your typical business book.
