Morning fellow complainers!!!
Having just seen the segment on ‘Sunday Morning’ I thought what a marvelous way to voice ones displeasure with whatever ails or vexes you.
Having listened to the raw footage on the website several times I have a questioned that was not answered in either the ‘Sunday Morning’ piece or any of your information. Are politicians exempt from your lament?? Since I am somewhat vindictive and have a particular axe to grind against several of our elected leaders I would enjoy with particular glee spearing them and watching their faces as they are lampooned and humiliated. Oh, wait you can’t humiliate a politician, you need to have a soul to be humililated.

Great singing! I love this turning up the volume on our silly complaints about life! It’s so great shift them from inside our heads and hear how insignificant are problems are –
