Song In My Head... or Riff In My Head

I was listening to Sonic Youth the other day and the opening bars of "Brave Men Run (In My Family)" have been stuck in my head ever since. The rest of the song has less relevance to me, but that opening guitar riff is so powerful and menacing. I may be conflating history somewhat, but hearing the opening to that song brought me right back to my brother's house on Pawnee Street in South Bethlehem, circa 1985.
