Topics and Layout of Autobiography

The book is an autobiography. Why an autobiography at 41? Just read... The format is simple: every chapter starts with the lyrics of a song relevant to the chapter. Then there is a chapter title and then area for text. I will add rough drafts one chapter at a time. The chapters will probably be written from the hardest to write to the easiest to write. Thus the posts will be out of order. The book is tentatively called, On Planet Earth, I Probably Stay. Below are the chapter numbers, chapter song titles and tentative chapter titles. I'd appreciate feedback.

Chapter 1: “Planet Earth” by DEVO, The Early Years 1967-1975

Chapter 2: “Comes A Time” by The Grateful Dead, My Friend Phillip Choe- 1972-1973

Chapter 3: “Aspirin Damage” by Alice Cooper, The Head Trauma and the Migraine Headaches-1978- Present

Chapter 4: “Rock ‘N’ Roll High School” by The Ramones, High School: The Worst Five Years of My Life 1981-1986

Chapter 5: “The Long and Winding Road” by The Beatles, Kevin 1967-1983

Chapter 6: “Comfortably Numb” by Pink Floyd, Guillain-Barre Syndrome 1984-1985

Chapter 7: “Born To Be Wild” By Steppenwolf, The College Years 1986-1990

Chapter 8: “Welcome To My Nightmare” By Alice Cooper, Welcome To My Nightmare: The Married Years 1993-1998
