The Story
Time – The Musical is an original A Frank Angle production featuring songs about time.
Program (Past posts)
Act 1: Time
Act 2: Specific Time
Act 3: Years
Act 4: Months
Act 5: Days and Weekdays
Act 6: Weekends
Act 7: Hour(s)
Act 8: Brevity
Act 9: Extended Time
Act 10: Compound Time
Act 11
Act 11 is about Future Time, so song titles must include either Future or a definite reference to the future. Note: Tonight is not acceptable.
Production Note
It has come to my attention that past acts have crashed browsers. Please 1) include the song title and artist in your text, and 2) paste the URL as part of your last line (not a new line). The latter will provide a link, thus not embed the actual video … but I don’t mind unembedding, so apologies are not necessary.
Announcement
Ladies and gentlemen, to kickoff Act 11 is a Canadian legend singing The Future. A grand AFA welcome to Leonard Cohen!

One song came to mind when I first heard your theme. Do you remember this one? Zager and Evans, in the Year 2525. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izQB2-Kmiic I thoroughly enjoyed hearing it again and seeing the artists. I don’t think I’d ever seen them sing it, but I remember it well! 🙂

Firstly, I have loved Leonard Cohen since I was in my late teens; I’ve seen him four times in concert, have all of his records, and many of the cd’s. You couldn’t have picked a better singer.
Second, my choice for the future: Modern Girl by Meatloaf, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDCzD_jVyoI

Catherine,
Well … the future is definitely the theme of the song, but the title’s keyword (Modern) can easily mean today … I like the song and its point, but the producer is a stickler, but he’s authorized me to give you this one … Van Halen with Hear About It Later http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b7mRIdAD48
