An Ipod Mix for the Doc

Having a surgeon as a father, I know some of the inside story. One of the things that may or may not be well known about surgeons is that they often operate to music and, of course, get to pick the selection. As a music dork, I feel I should help my surgeon by suggesting an iPod party mix he might want to play while putting Black & Decker to work on my ankle. So here goes:

"Cuts Like a Knife" -- Bryan Adams
"Like a Surgeon" -- Wierd Al Yankovic
"Fixing a Hole" -- The Beatles
"Beautifully Broken" -- Gov't Mule
"X-Ray Eyes" -- Guster
"Breakin' Me" -- Johnny Lang
"The Final Cut" -- Pink Floyd
"Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangster" -- Ghetto Boyz (I just like the mental image of a surgeon listening to this one.)

On another note, my unconscious mind has a sick sense of humor. Twice, I've had dreams where I'm walking down a sidewalk -- just an ordinary sidewalk on an ordinary day. Then I start to realize that I shouldn't be walking, that my leg isn't capable of it. So I stop, but I realize my leg is fine. About that time I wake up and look down to realize...no dice. Still in the cast.
