Just to see what happened, I decided to create a mix by using the GENIUS function on my iTunes and seeing if I could find a common thread among those tunes other than their musical similarities. The song I used to start it was REM's "Imitation of Life". In a way, I think I've created a nice song-cycle about life, love, and sanity. As SPINAL TAP confirms, it's a fine line between stupid and clever.
