So, it&#8217;s Monday again.  It always seems to be Monday and they never seem to get any better.  The Boomtown Rats didn&#8217;t like them, still less Brenda Spencer the 16 year old girl whose 1979 shooting spree in San Diego and subsequent blunt explanation inspired their song.    Even if most people aren&#8217;t drawn to actually shooting their [...]]]></description>
