...British Woman Curser: “Escort Crash on Marston Street” by Heavenly from the album Heavenly Vs. Satan; 0:10 into the track. “Heavenly” describes lead singer Amelia Fletcher’s voice perfectly. Her notes are ethereal, lilting; they seem to belong on a plane completely separate from our own. So when she opens this 1991 track with the words “Oh hey Robert / you’re driving much too fucking fast,” her casual cuss strikes me as especially enticing. That the song?...
...Boston Woman Curser: “Snailhead” by the Throwing Muses from The Curse live album; 1:44 into the track. The studio version of this song is about the same, except for the styling of the phrase “break the fuckin’ spiral,” vociferously grrr-ed by lead singer Kristin Hersh in sharp contrast to the album version’s more tepid version of the oath. Delicious! She’s not the best-looking angst-ridden siren, but this second of song makes her a veritable goddess...
...Angry Woman Curser: “Divorce Song” by Liz Phair from Exile in Guyville; 2:03 into track.

Phair flings true bile here, finding no word better to substitute when listing her relationship grievances: “... you did the things you said were up to me, and then accused me of trying to fuck it up.” She opts...
...Woman Curser: “My Generation” by Patti Smith, recorded live; 0:15 into track. This live Who cover has supplanted CD versions of her landmark 1975 release Horses, and features some excellent lyrical changes from The Who’s version. Though on both recordings it sounds like the curse should come at the “fuh fuh fuh ... fade away!” segment of the song, Patti Smith decides to modify more drastically, changing The Who’s mild “things are looking pretty cold / I hope I die before...
...carrier's demise. He was so vilified that he once defended his reputation by saying that he did not eat children for breakfast. On the other hand, Robert Crandall, the recently retired chairman of moneymaking American Airlines, draws effusive praise for being a hard-ass. A chain-smoking, incessant curser, Crandall called weekend meetings so often that execs' wives drew straws to see who would ask him to let up. Like all mean bosses, he had nicknames--"Darth Vader" and "Fang" among them...
