Hour 2
(I started out wondering how I could logically play the hip-hop "Lose Yourself" and the acoustic-country "Vapor" in the same hour. Oddly, they keep coming up consecutively on my iPod shuffle lately. I started randomly throwing songs together between the two. Somewhere between "Rebel Rebel" and "Last to Die," I found a link: The risks of following your dream versus the dreams that might never come to light. How do you reconcile the two, as well as the substitutes you find? For me, that was to be a rock star. Suddenly, it made sense. At least to me.)

Hour 3
(I have been seriously stuck on "Welcome To The Black Parade" lately. It's so epic. So operatic. Then I saw a YouTube clip of Adam Lambert singing "Soaked" on New Year's Eve. Rock theatre! I finished the thought with my ultimate Queen song. From there, I tapped into the idea of stepping outside the lines of acceptability. My college years were fueled by that notion. Where did it go? How do I bring it back? By addressing your fears and life-baggage. From there, it's possible... I hope)
