Songs About Getting Shot

When you've done as many music posts as I have over the past few years, it can be difficult to come up with new and exciting ideas. But not today! Today, I have for you a collection of Songs About Getting Shot. And that's anything BUT boring! Umm...enjoy?  ~  JH

1)  Bon Jovi  ~  “Shot Through The Heart”  (Ironically, Bon Jovi's "You Give Love A Bad Name" – which is NOT in this group of songs – was the inspiration for this post. Turns out they have ANOTHER song with the iconic "Shot Through The Heart" lyric in it, this one in its title. Go figure!)

A Rigorous Retrospective Of Remarkable Reggae Songs, Vol. 1

Recently, I found myself craving some island flavor. And the best way I could figure to do that would be to listen to some good reggae music. I also noticed an appalling lack of representation of the genre on this blog over the past...well, forever, actually. So I enlisted the help of my friend Eric Murphy, a diehard reggae fan, to pick some of his favorite tunes/artists (all of which are included in this set), and added a lot more on my own that I liked and/or discovered along the way. The result is a 50-song collection (split up into two posts) of smooth jams that I had lots of fun compiling. I hope you'll enjoy them, too!  ~  JH
