Re: 80s soundtrack to your life

I have to give that some thought...
I know a lot of songs that would be perfect for the ending, switching to end credits... like avalon by Roxy Music for instants.

I am writing a book, and if the book ever made it into a movie, I would choose that song for the ending.

So far I don't even know how to publish the book, but that's not the point.

Anyway, I'll reply back soon with the list.
