It would be too easy to do a money related song on Tax Day.  In fact, I imagine you want to think of anything BUT taxes right now.  Thus, I'm turning my attention to our class today featuring Possession by Sarah McLachlan.

We're not talking possession as in objects, but in a stalker sense.  Sarah wrote Possession based on an obsessed fan who wrote letters to her over a period of several years.  Following the album's release, the fan, Uwe Vandrei, sued McLachlan for songwriting credit, claiming she used parts of his letters in the lyrics. He committed suicide in 1994 before the case went to trial.

Tune in weeknights at 8 for Simon's School of Rock on 106.5 the Arch.
