Scott's Metal Track of the Day - 1000 Times Goodbye by Megadeth

Goodbye 2020, 1000 Times Goodbye 

Because, as Dave puts it:
"You know what? You suck!
Goodbye 1000 times"

We've been very fortunate in 2020. We've had jobs, stayed healthy, and have really enjoyed the extra time at home with each other. But I know it's sucked for many, many others. Hopefully 2021 is better.

Today's Metal Track is 1000 Times Goodbye off of Megadeth's 2001 album The World Needs a hero. The song is actually about the end of a bad relationship where the girl cheated on him and left him for another guy but still says she wants to be friends. 

"Let me put pennies on your eyes

And kiss your lips one last goodbye

My love, 1000 times goodbye"
