That rainy Thursday when my car stereo saved my sanity

Last month I had the worst day at work in ages. Boss chewed me out over a report I didn't even write, then I spilled coffee all over my shirt before a client meeting. On the drive home through downtown Portland, I cranked "Bohemian Rhapsody" to max volume and just let Freddie Mercury drown out everything. Has anyone else had a song pull you out of a total garbage day?

Bohemian Rhapsody is basically an emergency eject button for a bad mood, so you made the right call. Nothing says "my day is officially over" like belting out "Mama, just killed a man" at a red light while still wearing coffee stains. I'm honestly surprised more people don't just blast opera rock at max volume during rush hour. Must be nice having self control and not screaming about Galileo in traffic.

You hit it with "opera rock at max volume" cause that's exactly what it is. But here's what I gotta ask - when you're at that red light and the "Galileo" part hits, are you doing the full head bang or keeping it cool? I need to know if there's a method to picking the right song for the right mood or if Queen is just the universal reset button.

Full headbang every time, zero shame about it.
