(Finished November 1st, 2020) Women: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, Part 3: Songs 35-51

Hello,

Women! One of the best things about being a man. They amuse us, they entertain us, they thrill us, they seduce, they satisfy us. They also irritate us, frustrate us, destroy us, rehabilitate us, make us happy, break our hearts and makes us so thankful and at the same time regretful to be a man. Women, in other words we can't live with you, we can't live without you and we have no idea how to reconcile this. These songs cover all angles of the glory and heartbreak of the beguiling woman.
