Terry Harvey (in memoriam)

A few other explanations - do I even need to EXPLAIN Bruce or Elvis??!! :)
There's a driving/travelling theme here - Terry loved to go places, when I first met her she had this tricked-out white Camaro with blue racing stripes. I don't even think she'd ever been on a motorcycle at that point.

4) Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen - I knew this was the first song I wanted to play as soon as I got the idea to do this.
5) Rumble Seat - John Mellencamp - this CD listed in Terry's collection.
6) Southland In the Springtime - Indigo Girls - Terry and I went to see the Indigo Girls together in 1989 or '90. She said she really liked this song, the lyric "boiled peanuts" reminded her of her friend Theresa, who'd lived in the South and talked about boiled peanuts.
7) Jimmy Stewart quote from the movie Harvey the Rabbit - a personal favorite of Terry's.
10) I Drove All Night - Roy Orbison - from Terry's collection - another driving song
11) You Can Sleep While I Drive - Melissa Etheridge - same as above
12) If I Should Fall Behind - Bruce Springsteen - from Terry's wedding
13) Wrong Side of Memphis - Trisha Yearwood - another driving song, Terry's CD collection
16) Jackson - Johnny Cash & June Carter (from Live From Folsom Prison)- this song was also used in Walk the Line, but it seemed more fitting to use the original.
17) "Bring it on home" clip from the movie Walk the Line
18) Wreck On the Highway - Bruce Springsteen

Bridget was cleaning out Terry's apartment and came across something Terry had written about the song Wreck on the Highway. Bridget emailed me and said:

"While I was there, I ran across some things that Terry had written. Just little things here and there. One of them was about a Bruce Springsteen song, Wreck on the Highway. Along with the lyrics to the song, she had written a short paragraph about it. She described what the song was about, and I think it had really resonated with her. At the end, she wrote of how we only have a limited amount of time to live our lives, and how important it is to take advantage of what time we have. I'm sure she must have written this since her first accident three years ago. I don't remember the exact wording, but it epitomized to me the way Terry lived her life."

I would never have included this song, but when Bridget wrote that, I remembered a conversation Terry and I had had. Turns out that I use that song in a lecture I do every spring, so I was familiar with it and I told her the history of the song. And when I ran across that clip from Walk the Line, it just seemed to fall into place. The clip is the character of Sam Phillips talking to Johnny Cash in the studio.

23) Two More Bottles of Wine - Emmylou Harris - from Terry's CD collection.
24) O Mary Don't You Weep - Bruce Springsteen (from the Seeger Sessions)
25) "To the Batmobile" - clip from the Batman TV show
26) Further On Up The Road - Bruce Springsteen - I chose this one especially because a number of the riders mentioned riding with Terry one day on the other side.
27) "May the Schwartz Be With You....!" from the movie Spaceballs
28) Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen

I actually didn't plan on Thunder Road, it turned out I had a little time left, and thought it the right choice.

thanks to everyone who contributed, indirectly or directly.

that's still too damn weird about the Batman theme!
