Rural Ledge-ucation #60: Marriage Stinks!

When I decided on last week's anti-wedding theme, I went to Facebook to ask for some song suggestions. Along with some great selections that I utilized in that show, a few people also threw in some anti-marriage tunes. Obviously, the little bells in my tea-sized brain began ringing, and I decided to do a sequel of sorts to that show.
This week's live Realpunkradio broadcast was all about what happens when the bliss departs from marriage life - the arguments, the dismay that life will not be as rosy as expected, and the dreaded "D" word. There's a little bit rock, a little bit country, and even a funk tune in this week's playlist. Grab yourself a beer and shed a few tears as you listen to these sad tales from some of the world's greatest songwriters.
