Black Friday hasn't yet had a song named for it, but having just returned from a 48-hour vigil outside Crazy Frank's Electronic Supermart, we want to say it deserves to be right up there with "Stormy Monday" and "Gloomy Sunday."
Something to consider: the designation "Black Friday" has, until recently, been associated with economic collapse and financial disaster--in, to pick a couple of bad years, 1866 and 1869. And 1929 was no fun, either.
Who was the marketing genius who dubbed a sales extravaganza (read: "Get rid of this stuff") Black Friday? Was it the same guy who wanted to promote Titanic Cruise Ships and Kamikaze Airlines?
Just asking. Enjoy those bargains.
