I do still like the image I first came up with, of the young man between two buildings, but it seems no one ever took the photo so I can give no attribution nor license it from them. And I'm leery of doing that.
When I rewrote The Playboy of the Western World into a western, I called it The King of the Cowboys. Just a title, right? You can't copyright a title. No problem there.
Except...when I won Best Screenplay at the Houston International Film Festival, Roy Rogers' estate learned of it and let me know it had been trademarked for him, and him alone. So I was forced to change it to The Cowboy King of Texas.
Not nearly as good.
I don't want a repeat.
