If only I knew the actual names of songs, I could then put this list together.

“The Weight,” The Band. “Uncle John’s Band,” The Grateful Dead. “Satisfaction,” The Rolling Stones. If the crowd insisted on an encore, I’d go with Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself.”

I’d start off mellow with “I’ve Just Seen a Face,” get everyone rockin’ with Grace Potter’s “Medicine,” and then shamelessly close with Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble.”

In my dreams, I’m belting out “Sympathy for the Devil,” then the complex fable of “Tangled Up in Blue,” finishing softly with the utopian “Imagine.” In this fantasy, I perform embodied as Jagger, Dylan, and Lennon. No encores, no modernity, no apologies.
