All the world’s a stage
The song from “Reality Bites,” “I’m Nuthin'” “Story of Our Lives” comes to mind, but alas, this is the soundtrack of my life:

There’s no Springsteen! You could use “All That Heaven Will Allow” for falling in love, “Growin’ Up” for waking up, “Born to Run” for driving, “The Rising” for death scene.

You know, I had “Thunder Road” originally listed under driving music, but then I realized that Nicole Kidman was driving to “Case of You” in the movie “Practical Magic,” and somehow, that seemed to suit me better. I guess we know what the soundtrack of your life would look like, Bill, and I’d go see your movie anytime! 😉

LOL, if my life were movie-worthy I’d have sold the screenplay already. Some people are better critics.
