    According to Geldof, he wrote the song after reading a telex report[8] at Georgia State University's campus radio station, WRAS, on the shooting spree of 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer, who fired at children in a school playground at Grover Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego, California, on 29 January 1979, killing two adults and injuring eight children and one police officer.

      According to Wiki she said “I don’t like Mondays. This livens up the day”.

      Where now?

      She remains imprisoned at the California Institution for Women in Chino. Her next opportunity for a parole hearing will be in 2025.

                Good question. And although Australia is on the map, it has no number next to it.

                        @Mik That was interesting. I think it is brain damage. I cannot imagine that is more comfortable for them. From the documentatry, it does not seem like there is a physical problem with their back which forces them to do that.

                                      I didn’t either. Very interesting. I did notice the airport was busier than passenger traffic would be.

                                        I know that with Russia airspace not available, a lot of Europe airlines have cut back on flights to Asia because of the added costs because they have to fly longer. Probably effects the Anchorage airport also.
