Thread Name: what's the worst song you ever heard?3
Subject: RE: what's the worst song you ever heard?3
I saw a movie once with a younger actress in it, and she was playing a deadly serious teenage girl who played the guitar and wrote hundreds of bitter accusatory love diatribes against her ex-boyfriend and tortured people by singing them. They were simply dreadful, and boy, did they ever remind me of the stuff I was writing around age 21-24! Yikes.

It was funny in retrospect.

In one scene at the school she sees her ex coming down the hallway with a couple of other young guys, and immediately strikes a portentous E minor chord ( the darkest chord on open strings ) and proceeds to launch into one of her "goddamn heartbreaker that you are" epics.

He remarks to his pals, "She's gonna be famous some day..." (presumably because she writes a LOT of really awful songs)

Hilarious! ;-D We tend to write stuff in our youth that we would just as soon was forgotten years down the road.
