Stuck In Thee Garage #142: August 26, 2016

Much good art has been created because of broken hearts. Rock music is no exception to this axiom. This week on Stuck In Thee Garage, I played breakup songs in hour 2. Music is a good release valve for romantic angst, and it usually does the trick. Although maybe not for this poor sad sack:
