The other day, I asked a dreadful question on Twitter about
email and other modern conveniences we've come to hate. It brought forth lots
of examples of things we hate. This was not the intended result. There are
people all day long on television telling us why we should hate people, things
and ideas. I really didn't want us all to encroach on that territory. So I
pivoted quickly to a new question in the hopes of spitting out the bad taste of
the last one. I asked what song (happy, sad or otherwise) immediately improves
your mood?
I've posted your answers below. The volume and variety
reminded me of why I am such a huge fan of my Twitter followers. If I didn't
post yours, I'm sorry. There were so many I couldn't keep up with them all.
