  1. Strange...I have a similar experience. I used to listen to this several times a day when writing on a novella in Belfast...It was hard times, and I listened to the entire Queen's tape (yes, I used an old fashioned tape walk man from the 80s, where the Queen's tape was bought at a local farmer's market for a pound). Hammer to Fall was my "fighting" song. To BE the hammer as I wrote as it were. It was only after I was finished writing the tale, I stopped listening to that tape. Not for years now. Not since 2005. I guess too many memories is tied up to that song, and the story I was writing. I drank moderately heavily (a pint of cheap whiskey and a six pack of Guinness for dinner after work every day), as opposed to half a bottle whiskey, 6 pints AND 3 bottles of wine the day I wrote the entire story by hand as raw draft, and listened to John Lee Hooker). Your comment and this song opened a rabbit hole of memories as I smoke my toke... Maybe I'll put in on my playlist again when I go up to the mountain next year to write some other heavy shit.

  2. This vastly underrated classic kept my heads up during a heavy writing period in Belfast during a heart break back in 2005. Memories from Birds, the Bees & a Bottle of Whiskey is popping up right now. Thank you for keeping me alive during a time I wanted to die.... Drown my liver in a boottle of booze.
