"Crazy Bitch" - Buckcherry

Buy This Song on iTunes

My friend Cher also suggested I write about "Crazy Bitch".  Ah, "Crazy Bitch".  Everyone knows that song.  Everyone is sick to death of that song.  But boy, does it bring back a lot of memories.

When the song was new, when it was only a single in the US and the album 15 was only out in Japan, Buckcherry was doing a club tour (yes, clubs).  I went to Tennessee to visit my friend Ann (who has since severed ties with me, but she still holds a special place in my heart, and is part of MANY of my best memories) and we were going to a few Buckcherry shows around Tennessee.

One of the shows we went to, in Chattanooga, was in an old, converted church.  Yes, a church.  Stained glass, crosses, pews, paintings of John The Baptist, etc.  We didn't realize it was a church until Ann went to buy drinks at the bar and discovered that the club did not serve alcohol.  When Ann came back to tell the rest of us this, we looked up from the pew we were sitting in to see the religious paintings on the wall.  We then realized it was a church.  We then walked into the main auditorium and laughed at the absurdity of Buckcherry playing songs like "Crazy Bitch", "Whiskey In The Morning", "Lit Up" and "Lawless and Lulu" while singing out toward stained glass art of Jesus.

As "Crazy Bitch" became more and more popular, it became known as MY song amongst my friends.  I'm not sure if that's a compliment or an insult!  lol  However, it was almost tradition for awhile that when my friends and I were hanging out at One Block East, a bar in Grandview, MO that I used to frequent, my friend Jim would request that song and have it dedicated to me.  Bastard!  I still can't hear "Crazy Bitch" without thinking of my friends and One Block East!
