sasha_feather1. Do you believe that music can have a direct effect on your life?
Music has been so, so helpful over the last year and a half in particular. I made a Spotify playlist for optimistic music / concussion songs, and I keep adding to it. While badly concussed I put that on and let it play 24/7. It helps manage my mood.

Music is a big part of vidding culture, too.
2. What is your current favorite song?
Strange Currencies by REM, which I sort of re-discovered (as many did), by watching the Bear.
3. What's the one song from junior high that you can still rattle off all the words to?
Most of the country songs from the 90s, which was perhaps a golden age for country? Everyone listened to it here. Probably all of Garth Brook's country discography.
4. Did you have a prom song? Don't be embarrassed, we all did it.
No idea. Prom was not a great experience for me, not like traumatic or anything, but very comp het and deeply uncomfortable. Well. I had an instance of selective mutism during prom that lasted hours so maybe it was a bit bad.
5. Do you and your significant other have a "song" that you share?
I don't have a sig other, but there are plenty of songs I associate with people. My mom likes Ann Reed's "The Fair," Rosemary Clooney, Joan Baez, the Beatles. My dad will listen to anything but he particularly likes that guy who is married to Amy Grant, a country singer I can never remember the name of.
