1. What song do you live for at the moment?
Dead Man Walking by David Bowie right now.

2. Is there a band or artist that you attach to a particular memory? What memory is it?
A couple come to mind:
- "Another Day in Paradise" by Phil Collins, driving home from ice skating with a church group when I was young. I don't know why - probably the line about blisters.
- "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel - dancing with a boyfriend after making a drive up to Philadelphia to see him.

3. What's the most beautiful song lyric you've ever heard?
I don't know - this one's been sticking out in my mind lately:

Don't ask me why I'm doing this
You wouldn't understand
You're asking the wrong questions
You couldn't understand
A bridge is not a high place
The fifty-second floor
Icarus would know
A mountain isn't far to fall
When you've fallen
When you've fallen from the moon

Marillion - The Great Escape

4. If you could choose any band/artist to cover any song, which combination would you pick?
I really don't know - I'm not a huge fan of covers, so it's kind of hard for me to make that call. I've heard quite a bit of Boyce Avenue (who got their start doing covers) through my husband and I wonder if they could do a good cover of "Thirty" or "1979" by Smashing Pumpkins.

5. What's the best concert you've ever attended?
I haven't attended very many so I have a small pool to draw from. Shinedown put on a pretty good show the first time I saw them, though.
