They want me in a full suit and to fill out paperwork that I shouldn't have to fill out.
Meh. If you have other options, then a rescheduling that never makes it onto the calendar seems the way to go.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

It's crazy, isn't it? It's like smell-based memories for me - mostly an emotional and sense-of-place thing.
absolutely. And sometimes, even though your tastes have changed, the original music still brings back the feelings. Take, for example, Def Leppard's "Hysteria" (Pour Some Sugar on Me, Animal, etc.) I LOVE LOVE LOVE that album. Would put it on my top 5. But, don't like anything they did after that. Did the music get crappy, or did I grow up? Don't know, but you'll pry that CD cassette out of my cold dead hands.

“Not dead yet!”
It's why I'm so adamant about making soundtracks when I'm working on a manuscript. I'm like Pavlov's dog without the drooling (most of the time)-- put the music on, I'm right back in the scene/world/character.
And Vortex, I'm that way about Styx's Paradise Theater. I even have one of the original vinyls with the laser etched hologram on the A-side

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Barb, do you often rock the Paradise?
Hmmm... haven't heard that album in ages....

I'm getting a lot of interviews on my own, really. We'll see what happens. I may call and cancel tomorrow.

I love that all three of my brother's kids are big fans of 60s and 70s music and mostly hate modern pop crap (I'm thinking Britney, et al here), and my oldest nephew's favorite band is Styx.

I'm learning Eva Cassidy's version, which I like even more.
Love Eva Cassidy. She, Tierney Sutton, and Stacey Kent are my favorite contemporary(ish) standard singers.
