Memories are no longer made of this

I visited Nick Carr’s blog Roughtype and discovered that the Charlie Kaufman scripted movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is moving from the drama category into documentary. Carr’s post Remembering to forget is worth a read:

“Slowly but surely, scientists are getting closer to developing a drug that will allow people to eliminate unpleasant memories. The new issue of Neuron features a report from a group of Chinese scientists who were able to use a chemical – the protein alpha-CaM kinase II – to successfully erase memories from the minds of mice.”

If this is the case, how will I ever be able to listen to Dino sing this without re-writing the words?
