Do you ever wonder about the motivation behind a song?

[Dusty Chalk]

Howzabout the classic Tonio K breakup song from his Life In The Foodchain debut, H-A-T-R-E-D? Now that one has some angry ass lyrics!

Yes, I wish I was as mellow
As for instance Jackson Browne
But "Fountain of Sorrow" my ass, motherfucker
I hope you wind up in the ground

Hey! I thought I was the only person who ever mentions this song with any regularity.

But speaking of what was he thinking -- Tonio K. was championed by someone in the audiophile community (Stereophile? I don't remember) back in the day when that album came out, and a lot of his anger issues had to do with bad relationships. I distinctly remember thinking, when I read an article that he might, indeed, have met someone with whom he could be happy, that it was going to be downhill from there. But then Amerika came out, and I was proved wrong.

PS I think I got Ole' somewhere, but not sure.
