Rural Ledge-ucation #59: Weddings Stink!

It's probably no surprise that I'm no fan of weddings. They're uncomfortable gatherings. I don't like dressing up, and the food and music is generally offensive to my admittedly closed-minded standards. Plus, I'm against the whole idea of marriage. I tried it once, and it didn't work. It's doubtful I'll ever stoop to that level again.
So today's show gathers tunes that share that anti-wedding theme, inspired by a shuffled play of "Nobody" by The Replacements. Shocking, yes, that this band would inspire yet another show. Next week's show will be a sequel of sorts, an anti-marriage episode. If you have any suggestions for tracks to air on that broadcast, please leave them as comments to this post, or email them to me at paulisded@yahoo.com.
As always, the show can be found in the iTunes store, can be streamed on Stitcher, or...
