WHAT DOES "REHABILITATED" MEAN?

Looking back at much of the things that have been posted on this website over the last two years, dating back to the time period when a long term relationship began falling apart. There has certainly been a lot of anger.  I see the words of a man who was in an incredible amount of pain. A man who was looking for a target to blame for that pain. And all I can think of is the scene near the end of The Shawshank Redemption when Red is finally released from prison: "Rehabilitated?.. I don't have any idea what that means...  I know what you think it means... To me it's just a made up word... There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then. A young stupid kid... I wanna talk to him. I wanna try to talk some sense into him. Tell him the way things are. But I can't... I gotta live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word."

Day 7 / Song Combos: "Southbound" by MxPx & "Kids" by Descendents

"Southbound" is a song about cruising on the Interstate 5 highway, which will basically take you from Canada to Mexico while passing through Washington, Oregon, and California. If you start in Washington, where MxPx is from, you can spend most of the day driving before you pass the San Onofre Power Plant, also known as the "nuclear tits," which is/are referenced in the Descendents song "Kids (on Coffee)."

What songs do you crank up while taking a cruise?
