I started to think about it several times, but find it impossible to play the game, for several reasons. One is that I am not much good at remembering names - song names or artists. The other is that too many possibilities crowd upon one another, and being terminally open-minded (you can take that as non-judgemental, wishy-washy, or perhaps just mentally drafty and leaky), I am averse to making choices that I know will not stand for long.
Did I ever share that I experienced more than a year of waking up in the morning with a different song in my head, and there were only maybe ten repeats the whole time (if you don’t believe me, you can fantasize about asking my wife, who was blessed with hearing my stunning rendition of each and every one of them). A very curious thing is that very few of those morning songs were from the artists whom I had ever been addicted to - I often wasn’t clear on where I had heard them enough to explain how I knew so many of the words, as it could only have been on someone else’s radio. I’d say most of them were country western and R&B. Lots of times I didn’t know the name of the song or the artist.
Anyway, I guess we’re even now for raising uncomfortable topics that make us think…
