READER'S CHOICE QUESTION from Laura: What song or songs would you want played at your own funeral and why? I've never given this any thought before. How about "Doctor My Eyes" by Jackson Browne...

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years Through the slow parade of tears without crying Now I want to understand I have done all that I could To see the evil and the good without hiding You must help me if you can Doctor my eyes Tell me what is wrong Was I unwise to leave them open for so long? As I've wandered through this world As each moment has unfurled I've been waiting to awaken from this dream People go just where they will I never notice them until I've got this feeling That it's later than it seems Doctor my eyes Tell me what is rea lI hear their cries Just saying "It's too late for me" Doctor my eyes Cannot be disguised Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry?
