Songs are Sad in April 2014

Before I crack open the sonic sepulcher of the Songs Are Sad Mailbag to explain to you why every last song you claim to enjoy is in fact bone-snappingly sad, allow me to address perhaps the most frequently posed query to our humble office.

This month is probably the best installment in this series. We look at "Love Shack," and do a line-by-line reading of the horrors of "The 59th St. Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)"

Next month, we'll take on whatever songs you suggest at songsaresad@thehiggsweldon.com

Lucky for you I cover that in this week's article, 9 Fun Things to Do with a Million Dollars. I like it; I think it's good. You should read it, because it'll probably make your face all big.
