Share a song that captures the moment when seasons change. - Summertime by Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald

Summertime and the living is easy, Catfish are jumping , That old cotton is high, Your Daddy's rich and your Mama's good looking, Hush pretty baby, don't you cry

What song makes you feel like you're floating? A Day in the Life by The Beatles

It always makes me happy to hear a song by The Fab Four, especially when it's unexpected. This tune used to win a lot of polls as the best rock sone ever. I don't know about that, but it's pretty damn good.

What's your favorite song about growing up? - Growing Up by Bruce Springsteen

"I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd, but when they said, "Sit down," I stood up" - Man, that describes my Rebel Without a Clue teenage years. I was the embodiment of Brando's famous line in The Wild Ones - "What are you rebelling against, Johnny?" Brando: "What have you got?".

What song would you dedicate to your younger self? - Old Man by Neil Young

To me, this is a song about continuity. We are who we are, regardless of age. Sure, there have been plenty of changes, but the core remains the same - the need for love, and home and self worth. It's just pure poetry.

Share a song that feels like it was written specifically for you. - Louie, Louie by The Kingsmen

Ah, I can only hope to be as famously obtuse and mysterious as the lyrics to this classic. I mean, this is a song that was banned BY THE GOVERNMENT because they thought it MIGHT contain obscenities. That sounds like the suspiscions that Mrs. Satz, my 7th grade math teacher harbored about me.

What's a song you only listen to when you're completely alone? - Bring the Noise by Public Enemy

No one in my house has any appreciation for the social conscious of 80's HipHop but me. Old white dudes with whiter hair ( the shoe that fits me) MIGHT look a little pretentious chanting "Farrakhan's a prophet, I think you outa listen to." so I avoid all of that by making this song and the album it's on a solitary pleasure.

Share a song that makes you feel invincible. - Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood and The Destroyers

"On the day I was born, kings and queens stepped aside." This is not a song that someone with self-confidence problems would sing... or identify with.

What song feels like a personal anthem right now? - My Back Pages, written by Bob Dylan, performed by The Byrds

One of the greatest lines Dylan ever wrote “I was so much older then; I’m younger than that now.” As someone who has changed so much, decade by decade, personally, spiritually, politically, this songs feels like an autobiography.

Share a song that represents rebellion or freedom to you. - Masters of War by Bob Dylan, performed by Eddie Vedder

The lyrics are just as powerful 60 years on as they were in the cold war days when Dylan wrote this. "Let me ask you one question, Is your money that good, Will it buy you forgiveness, Do you think that it could, I think you will find, When your death takes its toll, All the money you made, Will never buy back your soul"

What's a song with lyrics you didn't fully understand until you were older? - Eminence Front by The Who

One of my favorite misheard song lyrics - I thought this was a song called "Living in a Funk"
