Grammy Nomination for this Opinion

This from the first paragraph of Judge Griffis’s decision in the COA case O’Brien v. O’Brien, handed down February 11, 2014:
¶1. Russell Gary O’Brien appeals the chancellor’s judgment of divorce. He argues that the decree “reads like a honky tonk chorus,” and he refers to Jerry Reed’s hit song “She Got The Goldmine (I Got The Shaft).” We affirm in part and reverse and remand in part.
As I noted at my blog, I am not convinced that it is ever a good idea to complain in one’s brief that the decision appealed from “reads like a honky-tonk chorus.”
That made me wonder what kind of music my opinions have evoked!
“Heartbreak Hotel,” presumably. Or “Suspicious Minds.”
