As I was working on my autobiography, Spilled Ink, I was inspired by the movie High Fidelity and the writings of Jack Kerouac. The premise of the movie was the main character Rob Gordon (played by John Cusack) going through his top five breakups of all time. As he describe each girl and the situation from his past, the present played out in-between each story. I like the top five idea. For me, music has been a driving force in my life. If you play that one song, memories are unlocked. The past plays out in my mind. Smells, feelings, people and places become crystal clear. So, if I’m writing my memoirs, I thought I would start with a list of songs to use as reference points.
