How about "Sounds of Silence", by Simon and Garfunkel? Probably not the best example, but it was the first thing that came to my mind thinking about Holden. What a loser.... :confused:


edit: Maybe even "Mrs. Robinson", now that I remember that it was the theme song for 'The Graduate'. Kinda reminded me of Holden's story. ;)

I always used to use I Did It My Way the old Sinatra standard. It can be easily manipulated to suit pretty much any situation.
