This song title came to mind in Feb. 1999 when I was on jury duty, and shortly after rendering the verdict, I received word that my ex-wife had died (I had last had contact with her 1987, when the judge "put the hammer down" and dissolved the marriage. The day before the final court appearance, I had gone to a Joan Jett concert).

I went to the Tower Records store (remember them?) in Pasadena and bought the tickets, thinking, "Gee, I hope nobody from the Joan Jett Fan Club sees me doing this!"
