First off, thanks to everyone who sent me part nine. But, here's the real meat of my message. It appears the search for a job has taken a toll on my brain cells (either that, or my allergy medication is working _way_ to well....), in either case, I got to thinking...... What would happen if BSG was a rock musical? Now I'm serious here. If we were to soundtrack Our Heroes to a rock musical, what songs would we use? BTW, cross-sex singing is Okay for this idea (i.e., songs sung by men can be sung by female characters and vica versa) since we don't want to limit ourselves..... Here's some ideas to get the ball rolling: BTW, to make life easier, I'm sticking with Saga..... "Peace Train" Cat Stevens Baltar celebrating the Council of 12's decision to sign the Peace Treaty.

Key Line: "I can hear you calling, don't have to call so loud. I see you falling, don't have to walk so proud...." "Because the Night" Patty Smyth Group Cassie convincing Starbuck that since his life obviously stinks, he should forget his cares for awhile in a launch tube. Key Line: "Take me now, baby as I am. Hold me close and try to understand..." "Big Yellow Taxi" Amy Grant Athena after catching Starbuck and Cassie in the launch tube during saga as she mulls over losing everything in the destruction and seeing her love-life threatened. Key Line: "...You don't know what you've got till it's gone. They paved paradise and put up a parking lot." "Wild, Wild Life" Talking Heads Starbuck to Boomer as he talks about getting the "Space Supremes" on the Star Circuit and how wonderful Carillon is. Key Line:
