[QUOTE="7.62marksman, post: 473525, member: 8005"] this is interesting use to like this song but not anymore now i know how it came about The teenager who famously told a reporter; I dont like Mondays when asked why she carried out a shooting rampage at a US high school in 1979 Brenda Ann Spencer was just 16 when she aimed a rifle shed been given by her father for Christmas out of her bedroom window in San Diego and started shooting at children in a nearby playground. She killed Grover Cleveland Elementary School principal Burton Wragg, 53, and caretaker Mike Suchar, 56, and wounded nine. I dont like Mondays. This livens up the day, she told San Diego Evening Tribune reporter Gus Stevens when she answered his cold call. [b]Those infamous words inspired a song by the Boomtown Rats, written by Bob Geldof, later that year. It reached number one on the charts around the world including in Australia.[/b] Geldof denied exploiting tragedy and later said; It was the perfect senseless act and this was the perfect senseless reason for doing it. So perhaps I wrote the perfect senseless song to illustrate it. [video=480,360][url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kobdb37Cwc[/url][/video] [/QUOTE]
