"November Spawned a Monster", by Morrissey, came out when I was a senior in HS and I'd just had a shunt revision (www.hydroassoc.org). The lyrics to the song are about a girl who's shunned by her peers because she's handicapped--"a symbol of where sex-mad lovers must pause and draw the line". Every time I heard that song it made me cry. Although I wasn't born in November, I had my shunt revision in November of '89, just after Thanksgiving. I had few friends, and many students pointed, laughed at me, and mocked my gait. That song just crystallized everything for me.
