Nothing New Under the Sun (except for giant monsters that attack Japanese cities)

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.
