February 29th - Brutal Break-up Songs

When I posed the question on my Facebook page "What is the most brutal break-up song?" people thought that I was going through a break-up. I'm not. I have been thinking of break-up songs lately and about the people the songs are ABOUT. It is a private situation that gets made public. Luke Doucet's Broken One is one of the most brutal break-up songs in this regard. That's really how this whole thing got going. So today was all about brutal break-up songs. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the discussion on Facebook and beyond!
