Stuck In Thee Garage #361: February 19, 2021

Even back in 1988 when Bobby McFerrin had a hit with "Don't Worry Be Happy," a lot of people had a tough time with the concept. There was plenty of stuff to worry about back then, and there's even more to worry about now. But somehow music can provide an escape from all that. That even proved to be true this week on Stuck In Thee Garage when I played songs about worrying in hour 2. But don't tell that to Debbie Downer. Everything bums her out.
