Reflections From The Bell Curve: #1: The Mt. Rushmore Series
My blog was still a toddler when Mt. Rushmore was launched in July 2012. At that point, unsure how long I'd continue blogging, I could not have predicted it would evolve into my most enduring series.
Today marks the first time in its thirteen-year lifespan that I'm requesting help. First note the three metaphorical song titles at the bottom of this post, my first ever 3/4 size monument. Your mission, should you decide to accept it: SUPPLY ONE FINAL SONG TITLE TO HELP ME COMPLETE MT. RUSHMORE #75. Why this digression from the usual model i.e., where I present my choices and then assume you'll endorse the perfection of those selections and/or offer one-four alternatives for my august consideration? Two linked reasons:
1.) My brain hurts. I've been searching - without using Google or any AI - for months for a fourth perfect metaphorical song title. I must move on or risk permanent musical brain fatigue.
2.) Although this series has generated a fair comment rate over its lifespan, I suspect asking for a nomination to complete my 3/4 perfect monument might generate more than the usual participation.
Remember: In order to help ease my pain and ensure satisfactory completion, make your nomination a stand-alone song title and a perfect metaphor just like each of the three below. If you think I might be unfamiliar with your song, please note the composer and/or the artist most closely associated with it. Compensation for the nominator providing the perfect fourth to be negotiated. Also: LONG list of considered - later rejected - song titles available upon request.
* Bridge Over Troubled Water
* Sleep's Dark and Silent Gate
* Wind Beneath My Wings
Maybe this is much too obvious or common... The Long and Winding Road
ReplyDeleteThoughts, o ye master blogger??
Anonymous; I would not call that Paul McCartney song too obvious or too common. As a matter of fact, it's one of the titles on the ridiculous list mentioned in the last sentence of my post. I rejected it for this iteration of Mt. Rushmore primarily because it hasn't hounded me as much as the other three have; none of those have left me alone for several months now; such is my musical obsession. Yike!
