Top 5 Songs I Obsess On, And Every One of Them Will Rip Your Heart Out

with Kris Rafferty

Strangely enough, I hate sad endings, sad stories, movies, etc. If it’s sad, and you give me the head’s up you’re about to tell me something sad, I’ll stop you. Hand in your face, my head turned aside, and I’ll spit out, “Stop! I don’t like sad!” Except, apparently, in my songs. These gut me. Absolutely GUT me. And I can’t hear them enough. #OddFactAboutKris
