1. If you owned an ice-cream truck, what tune would it play?
The ice cream truck – that insidious tune that worms into your mind and penetrates your senses – tempting you to consume the fat calories in an attempt to obey the orders hidden in that playful tune.
To replace, I would pick some sort of death metal demonic shout to keep us all away. I didn’t say this was a sound business deal.
2. What should your theme song for your sitcom be?
“Pure Imagination” sung by Gene Wilder
3. What should be playing overhead in the theater?
I like theaters that play a simple classical music soundtrack. This is probably because as a youth, we only had one theater and that is what they played. It is reassuring.
4. What is a song that gives you the chills because its so good/beautiful?
“Adagio for Strings” by Samuel Barber:

5. What song lyric can you always be counted on singing, word for word?
I truly suck at remembering song lyrics, but to answer it is probably a Christmas tune. I dig Christmas music. Is it too early to start playing them?
1. “It’s a Small World After All.” Everyone loves that song and people would welcome me driving around the block over and over again as it blared.
2. I’ve thought about this one before. I’d choose “Best Imitation of Myself” by Ben Folds. It has some great lyrics, and indeed there are times in my life where I feel as though I’m merely imitating myself.
3. Dire warnings about how to exit the theater in the event of emergency.
4. There are three love songs that I’ve always loved for their simplicity and power–Old 97’s “Question,” (about proposing marriage), Ben Folds “The Luckiest” (about being in love), and REM’s “At My Most Beautiful.”
5. I too struggle to remember lyrics, and rarely try to sing along in my mind.
1) Duh Freebird.

3) anything by Bond. They are a kind of rock meets classical vibe.
4) Gordon Lightfoot “The Wreck of the Edmunds Fitzgerald”
5) Damn near anything from “Purple Rain”
