You forgot 'Homeless' by Paul Simon.
I'm impressed by your choice in music. While I am familiar with much of it, you have given me a list of new things to listen too.
I am heartened at the direction your music tastes have taken you.
Okay, I know you don't know me (I don't know you either), but I moved on to your second blog post and was so excited to find someone who listed both Straus and My Chemical Romance in this list. Also, I love it that you chose a unique and lesser known song by the latter.
Also, Amadeus is an incredible movie, and (I saw your list of favorite books), The Stranger is also brilliant. Have you read The Plague (also by Camus)? That is actually my favorite book of all time.
I must admit I didn't care for White Oleander, however.
