Ok, so I really like Lynryd Skynyrd (original), deal with it. Awesome band. Anyways, it was my sophmore year in college, and we were having the typical nightly drunken Mortal Kombat 3 tournament and we took turns playing songs. I decided on "Love Hurts" by LS. Totally inappropriate song for playing Mortal Kombat, but that was part of it.
Then, this guy Hal, who was like 26 and in graduate school, who had just started hanging out with us, and who we thought was dorky, didn't want to hear it. I would have none of it. I insisted that THAT song be played, and he wasn't going to stop me. But, then...
He starts saying that he CAN'T listen to that song. I keep insisting that MY song be played. And he says, "well, my ex-girlfriend shot herself while she was on the phone with me, and she had that song blaring in the background on repeat". Everything fucking stopped. I felt so bad.
But, I couldn't have known, but still felt guilty. Needless to say, the song wasn't played.
