Life is like music: a rock & roll love story

I thought I'd try something different today. As I've mentioned before, if it weren't for rock and roll lyrics and/or song titles, I wouldn't be able to describe my life. This morning I looked through my stack of CDs and wrote down songs that resonated with me while browsing. I then cut them into strips and put them into a small box. I'm going to draw them out at random and see if I can create a story based on what I draw. All song titles will be in italics, in case you want to figure out the artist. This could be fun...here goes:

Sweet Dreams (are made of this) and I Can't Stand Losing You so Take It Easy, the Riders on the Storm are on their way to the rescue. They're going to open their Love Shack because you've been Living in the Past. But Don't Stop, Let's Spend the Night Together, I'll look into your Gypsy Eyes and give you a Piece of My Heart. I don't want a Brand New Lover, so don't be Down on Me, I'm a Victim of Love. Since You're Gone, I'm Still Crazy After All These Years so I'll try to Pump It Up for The Longest Time because it's Urgent for my Private Life to continue on The Long and Winding Road or I'll be Burning Down the House. You are the Sunshine of My Life, so Gimme All Your Lovin' and Imagine that it Feels Like the First Time while The Tide is High. I may not have the Deacon Blues but You Spin Me Round (like a record) and it Changes me. What's Love Got to Do With It? Here Comes the Rain Again and it will be A Hard Day's Night because You Promised Me some Manic Depression because it's Always on My Mind.

He Loves Me Like a Rock he always said, because You Can't Always Get What You Want but you can Touch Me on the Stairway to Heaven and Shake It Up with Pride and Joy. I Want a New Drug that will create a Purple Haze while Walking in the Rain. I Miss You and I'm Waiting for the Sun to prevent my 19th Nervous Breakdown because Every Breath You Take is special to me. There are times I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down because One Way or Another it's Bye Bye Love, but You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) and Life Without You—Can't Get It Out of My Head while you're Walking on the Moon. It Hurts So Good that I Want to Hold Your Hand because you always were my Dirty White Boy. It might be the Same Old Song and Dance but Fame can bring Sympathy for the Devil, so Hit Me With Your Best Shot as I'm Reeling in the Years because it's More Than a Feeling—it's Bye, Bye Baby.

You know dear, You Make Loving Fun, even in Kashmir.  But we're Going to California, so Dream On and don't Turn to Stone because Love is the Drug. Let's Listen to the Music at least One More Time and on Black Friday we'll Move Over for A Day in the Life because in The Grand Illusion, Only the Good Die Young. This Life in the Fast Lane is Already Gone but our Sweet Emotion will make us realize that you have to Go Your Own Way.

Hello, I Love You while I'm on the Road to Nowhere, but like I always say: Whatever Gets You Through the Night. A love like we had is a Once in A Lifetime thing; it was Just What I Needed. You helped me Break on Through even while we were Movin' Out; we had Modern Love as you baked Quiche Lorraine and you could not say Love is a Stranger in our household.
