Time for your medication....

A bulky envelope plopped through the letterbox this morning. It contained something I'l almost given up for lost, a copy of "The Top Heavy Metal Songs of All Time" by Martin Popoff, sent by blogger Andrew Ian Dodge. Somehow it managed to take a month and a half to get from New England to Old England!

I opened to book at random, and came to #473, Anthrax's "Madhouse". Although it's not in my record collection, it's a song has some very special memories for me. Back in 1986 I was living under the same roof as my brother, and every Saturday morning I would be awoken by the words "Time for your medication, Mr Brown", followed by loud maniacal laughter, and then that monster of a riff.
