(We hope Sharlese feels better too)\n\n\"Attitude\" is the song that gave punk an acronym: PMA — Positive Mental Attitude. Bad Brains frontman H.R. (Paul Hudson) borrowed the phrase from the 1937 self-help book \"Think and Grow Rich\" by Napoleon Hill, and it became the band's foundational philosophy.
