And I'll bet
they thought they were soooo clever creating ghost ads with actual
ghosts. I'd say more on the subject, but we already did the dead
celebrity thing last
year and I have a shitload of depressing songs to get to.
First, a huge
thank you to everyone who responded to last week's call. I was
quite literally overwhelmed, with my inbox choking on Mp3 files.
My apologies to those whose e-mail bounced back as a result.
My original
intent was to filter this list but I quickly realized that tragedy,
like comedy, is subjective. If your parents told you they were
getting divorced while Mmmbop
was playing on the radio, who am I to say it's not a sad song?
Which is not to say these songs didn't make me sad. On the contrary,
I made
the serious mistake of reading this
story while listening to your submissions and holding my sick
daughter. I was weeping by the third paragraph. By the sixth,
I had completely lost control. I'm largely disinterested in hockey
(by Canadian standards, anyway) but tonight I'll be rooting for
the Sens in honour of that little boy.
The list:
Man... what
a bummer. Happy birthday, Star Wars.
