‘I Don't Like Mondays’ was written about the Cleveland Elementary School sh00ting in San Diego in 1979. A 16 year old girl, Brenda Spencer, who lived across the street from the school, fired from her bedroom window at the school playground, k!lling the principal, custodian and injuring a police officer and 8 children.
