That is because they are stinky, horrid and mean. And JBJ himself just looks like he deserves beatings. SMUGFUCKERY BASTARD!
However, I give credit for Tico Torres because he used to play briefly in this slightly mimsy and fun enough New Jersey psych-pop band back in the late sixties or something -- forget the name of the band, got the reissue on ArfArf Records. I like to imagine him as the one guy who ended up caught up in the band years later and thought, "Ah, fuck it, it's a living," and he just stays at home most nights and shakes his head with a laugh.

Though they were probably right that the singer needed to be hotter and they needed some of that crazy mouth-tube-guitar action. Both "It's My Life" and "Livin' On A Prayer" benefit from such silliness.
I can't believe they toured WITH the Goo Goo Dolls. How much hair-in-the-eyes sexy-boy-rasp can the human ear take...

Squeeze's "Up The Junction" (one of my all-time top 20 songs anyway) made me burst into tears outside Mile End station one evening a year or so ago. Just the horribleness of the narrator's situation, the hopelessness in the lines about drinking, the stultifying, truly pathetic inevitableness of it all, got the better of me.

Occasionally I will cry during WNBA games on television.
"Say it Isn't So" by Hall and Oates used to make me cry. That song vividly marked a time of young teen rejection.

I just totally blubbed at the end of The Simpsons - it was "And Maggie Makes Three" when Homer covers the sign at work which says "Don't forget you're here forever" with pix of Maggie, so it reads "Do it for her". I must've seen it half a dozen times, and, frankly, this time I was piss bored. And then I started blubbing like a girl, wtf?!

"I climb through the window and down to the street/I'm shining like a new dime""And her hair was so yellow and the wine was so red back in the good old world"
and that's the point I stop being able to move or do anything for the next 4 or 5 minutes.

You can definitely add "Martha" to that list as far as I'm concerned.

I'll add to that list:

Most recent unexpected emotional ambush: Keane's Somewhere Only We Know, doing the dishes, last night. I've not even LIKED it up until now...

"I've got my friends in the world...""The world would show nothing to me/So what good would living do me?"
These give me shivers just typing them.
As for Tom Waits, I was listening to Small Change at lunchtime and the line "Tonight this broom will be my baby" (I think that's it) got me pretty bad.

Likewise "New England" after I heard about Kirsty MacColl.
I also spent best part of a decade unable to listen to "Love Cats" by The Cure without wanting to burst into tears - but that wasn't really anything to do with the song itself.
