Times When They Can Be So Cruel: Mean Woman Blues By Roy Orbison




almost forgot that March is Women's Month. Keeping that in mind, don't be surprised if a lot of my entries would be about women or songs about women. As much as we should respect and take care of women, there are times when they drive us up the wall. This is especially true, when they get into that mood where we guys duck for cover. The song "Mean Woman Blues" by Roy Orbison comes to mind during these predicaments.

Whether it's your mother, sister, daughter, girlfriend or wife, when they get into that mood, your life becomes a real pain. Sometimes they're ice-cold or fly into a real temper tantrum. It can happen out of nowhere and when it does, there's no place to run. The worst part is when you do all that you can to appease and they mock you even more for your efforts. No that's really mean.

Why do we put up with all this torment we ask? Simply because beyond all that bad mood, we still love them. It's just a matter of weathering the storm I guess. If there's one thing I've learned is that you have to accept them whether they're at their best or even at their worse. No matter how mean they get, we just can't live without them.
