Sunday: the first day of the week, the last day of the week, or, if you work at Lowe’s Home Improvement, the second day of the week. And, somehow, despite its temporal confusion, it’s still the day of the week that seems to inspire more songwriters than its six counterparts.  Here are a few of the products of that inspiration.
