AC/DC "Back In Black". If anything's gonna make you feel like a Bad-ass Warrior, this is it!

Listen. And try and tell me you don't feel freakin' invincible...

...And speaking of invincibility... How about Pat Benatar's "Invincible"!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A4xBp2 ... qhJ2noHm6o
She gave me an anthem, with this one.

Oh, and another great anthem? Rachel Platten with "Fight Song"

O/T Reply - Admittedly, this reply is a little bit off topic, but given the recent spate of rain storms around the country I thought I'd add a few comments about a favorite guitarist of mine from 1970's Creedence Clearwater Revival fame.

Who'll Stop The Rain?

John Fogerty

Long as I remember
The rain been comin' down
Clouds of mystery pourin'
Confusion on the ground

Good men through the ages
Tryin' to find the sun
And I wonder, still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain?
...
Have You Ever Seen The Rain?

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know, it's been coming for some time.

When it's over, so they say
It'll rain a sunny day
I know, shining down like water

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?

I like Fogerty's songs about rain since they are basically allegorical in nature. Because of this I think most people can interpret the non-specific lyrics in a way that would be meaningful to themselves.

Anyone else have any music comments to share?

I gravitated to a lot of sad, dark stuff. Cathartic, I guess. But as far as upbeat or beautiful stuff was concerned:

Townes Van Zandt: “Mr. Mudd and Mr. Gold”

Brooke Annibale (criminally under-the-radar singer songwriter): “Patience”

Jonathan Richman: “Roadrunner” : )

And

Motörhead: “Ramones”

Not specific to cancer, really, but they helped.

OSM: Fogerty is incredible. Great, simple lead player/hook writer, great rock singer, great lyricist. One of the absolute best RnR songwriters. I am partial to his straight ahead rockers, like “Up Around the Band,” and “Fortunate Son,” but there are so many great songs to choose from.
