Like or Dislike: "Sometimes Its a Bitch"

[David]

This is an atrocious song but I still love it.

The words are as bad as anything any hair band ever wrote. I think they were probably written by a teenage female fan of Bon Jovi who was instructed to write her impression of Stevie Nicks and then mix it up with styles by Ratt and Dokken.

There were always some things I hated about Stevie--her narcissism, her insufferable notion that hers was a tempestuous, grandly romantic life, and the complete absence in her songs of any humor or healthy self-depreciation. And wouldn't ya know, this entire song fits all that crap to a T. "I've cried a river of tears from the pain." Oh, puhleeze.

And who's brilliant idea was it to make the 1991 Stevie Nicks traverse an octave interval on the chorus? I mean ... STUPID.

There's so much eye-popping badness in this one that I just love it! It's precious--it's one of a kind.
