Memory is inherently selective: who remembers everything? The brain just can't do it. Like how I remember Shaun's "Audrey" vividly ("Without Audrey there would be nothing to share, there would be no reason to care"), which was not a hit for him, but am drawing a blank on "That's Rock n' Roll," which was one of his biggest hits. The word "selective" is used as an accusation, though, to say "You seem to be remembering what you want to remember, and not what I want you to remember." You’re right, Steph.
