"I don't like Mondays" by the Boomtown Rats (Lead singer Bod Geldolf started Live Aid) never mentions Brenda Ann Spencer, but the song was written about her. In San Diego in 1979 when she was 16, she went to school, shot and killed 2 adults and wounded 8 students. When they asked her why she did it, she said "I don't like Mondays".
