I think in music videos. And since MTV and VH1 don’t air them anymore I have to rely on my own versions.
I can be sitting in an airport and music pops in my head and suddenly I have created a video montage around me. If I had the time, talent, software and money – I would make videos all day long. I love it when a character dies or someone is kicked off of a reality show and music plays and they do the slow-mo synopsis of their time on earth/TV.
Stop and think for a minute what your video would look like? The highlights, the low lights and now I challenge you to come up with your theme song.
My theme song has always been Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel. It’s a rare autobiographical song dealing with his break as lead singer of Genesis and anticipation of his new challenge as a solo artist. I have been able to identify with that feeling many times in my life.
My heart going Boom, Boom, Boom.

As is probably true for most people, my theme song changes all the time. Right now, it’s probably Goodnight, Elisabeth by Counting Crows:
“We couldn’t all be cowboys
So some of us are clowns
Some of us are dancers on the midway
We roam from town to town
I hope that everybody can find a little flame
Me, I say my prayers, then I just light myself on fire
And I walk out on the wire once again”

Where you a Genesis fan? One more thing we have in common. When you are going to be back in the Valley?

Pam,
So great to hear from you! I was a huge Genesis fan. I was in my 20’s in the 80’s so those songs saw me through a lot of good and bad times. Say “hey” to everyone at UMass. Love to see a picture of your new branch.
