Bill and I were discussing music and how Song X is the exact same song as Song Y, just change the names.
For example, Faith Hill’s Mississippi Girl is basically Jenny From the Block.
I said it was like movies, and you could pretty much trace all plots back to Shakespeare. He covered everything.
Fritz wanted to know who Shakespeare was, and I said he was a poet and playwright from a long time ago (“The 1600’s”, interjected Bill – he lived from 1564 to 1616, good job, hubby). I said that he wrote a lot of plays and that many movies today had stories that were like the stories he wrote.
“Oh, so he wrote, like, Godzilla?”
No. You got me there, kiddo.
Ok, I’m sure a creature formed from our attempts to change the environment attacking us is an old story – but I’m not so sure it’s Shakepsearian. Ask Bill.
