Scorpion Q+A 306

Question

My fave song is Sweating Bullets, and I was wondering why Dave wrote it and how did it relate to him?

Thanks, Romelia S.

Answer

Romelia,

We all love to hear the inspiration behind lyrics and music. Sweating Bullets is one of my all-time favorites, but since I can't physically headbang, I have to settle for stinger swaying. Here's what Dave had to say about the song:

"My wife had a friend that she actually worked for that had anxiety, and they would go out before we got serious, and her friend would have a panic attack and just bail on Pam. I got the idea while driving to pick her up and take her home one night after another episode."
