Bonnie, can you start a list of “Great Songs to Dedicate To A Loved One With Passive Aggressive Undertones”?
I’ll help get it started.
1. Man in the Mirror – Michael Jackson
2. You’re So Vain – Carly Simon
3. Don’t Think Twice – Bob Dylan
4. Silent All These Years – Tori Amos
I’m confident that Tom Waits has at least one that could go up here, but my memory isn’t bringing any songs to surface.
