It never rains in Southern California (for my childhood)
Twilight - ELO (for the early 80s)
Bohemian Rhapsody (early 80s)
Eye in the Sky (mid 80s)
La Incondicional - Luis Miguel (for the late 80s)
Tusk (my memories circa 1990)
A Little Respect (early 90s)
La Bilirrubina - Juan Luis Guerra (early 90s too)
Silver Springs (circa 1997)

I think these songs would have to be included in my bio:

Ordinary World-Duran Duran
Storms-FM
Fixing a Hole-Beatles
Beautiful Night-Paul McCartney
No More Lonely Nights-Paul McCartney
Bitch-Meredith Brooks
Two of Us-Beatles
Perhaps a tune from Smoky Mountain Christmas-my all-time favorite movie lol..

These are just some songs that have been a part of my life in one way or another...I'm sure there are more..but I'm lazy and don't want to think of them at this moment :)

Mr. E's Beautiful Blues (the Eels) -- for my childhood among the carnival outlaws

I Want Out of the Circus (Cracker) -- for my running away from the circus at the age of 10

Never Going Back Again (FM) -- for that three-year gig as a gas station attendant and moonlighting as street corner acapella singer

Graceland (Paul Simon) -- Hello, Memphis

Get Off This (Cracker) -- For that brief early-20s slacker period

Surrender the Rain (Lindsey) -- for my "lost summer" in the Caribbean followed by my stint in Budapest wishing I were in Prague

Hey Bulldog (Beatles) -- for miscellaneous scenes as appropriate

Love Is Amazing (traditional) -- well, you know...

Not that Funny (FM) -- for my years as a newspaperman

Everything (me) -- because, in the end, it all comes back to love and home.

Journey~"Stone In Love" or "Escape" (reminds me of one of the best parts of my childhood~~Running on my rollerskates and my love of music)
Fleetwood Mac~"Say You Love Me" or "Dreams" (Being driven to school and singing along to these songs because my mom was, little did I know at six and seven years old that this band would have a future impact on me)
Queen~Another "One Bites The Dust" (Playing this song for band on my flute back in 1981, I ran out and got the Greatest Hits album and saw the movie Flash Gordon on cable are all memories of things I liked then and even now)
Van Halen~"Hot Summer Nights" (Summertime at a Van Halen concert with someone I loved at the time)
Lindsey Buckingham~"Holiday Road" (1983 Dick Clark's American Bandstand featured the music video and I was watching this on my brand new Black and white TV as I was without TV for 2 years!!)
Jann Arden~"Insensitive" ( Reminds me of many karoake nights I participated in and this was my song. It took on later meaning when I liked someone who did not return my feelings.)
Fleetwood Mac~"Hold Me" ( A reintroduction to the band via a neighbor and MTV- a music video that changed my life! Thought that Lindsey was one hot looking dude and thought the band was pretty frickin' cool!)
Big Country~"In A Big Country" ( driving around with my mom and her boyfriend at the time and his two kids, looking for sites to take scenery pictures)
Patty Griffiin~"Christina" (my friend Angie bought the album Flaming Red and played the song for me, I thought it was Ok until I started listening to a tape she made for me later on. I love the discovery of something new!)
