Forget Sci Fi writers  for now. As for being "real" with songs, it is a great plus and a great story if the song actually was all true and came directly from the writers real life experience, but just like Sci Fi or made up mob stories like the great "GodFather" I & II We fabricate off of real life things.. or pure imagination. Here's a beauty - "Cats In The Craddle" just had to be Harry completely talking about his son right? he had to write those lyrics.. Nope his wife did... "Cat's in the Cradle", based upon a poem by his wife; Sandra Chapin had written the poem inspired by her first husband's relationship with his father and a country song she heard on the radio.[2] When Harry's son Josh was born, he got the idea to put music to the words and recorded the result. "Cat's in the Cradle" was Chapin's only number one hit, shooting album sales skyward and making him a millionaire. Also musically- Tommy Dorsey was a great player and jazz musician he wasn't from New Orleans, he wasn't African American he didn't live the pure man blues life.. He "FELT" the music so did Glen Miller, Eric Clapton on on & on... What really counts most is how much you feel the music. If it reaches into your heart & soul. Goodnight!

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
