Texsox Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Linky I'd have to go with Feelin' Alright by Joe Cocker, which did not make the list. Perhaps My Generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) I want several songs from Warren Zevon's final, focking brilliant album The Wind to be played. I'm getting dusted so there won't be a casket, but I want the entrance song to be "Dirty Life & Times" I want "Keep Me In Your Heart" and maybe "Please Stay" in the eulogy portion. Please Stay is just soooo sad though, and so maybe it will get nixed. The exit selections have to include a non-Zevon homage to the uplifting "part two" New Orleans jazz band street procession songs - probably a revved up version of "Just a Closer Walk With Thee" (yeah, yeah, a spiritual song at the atheists funeral. maybe I'll get struck by lightning for it ). But that should segue into "The Rest of the Night" as my family and friends head out for what had better be a hell of a party. Among a bunch of other songs, the Dubs' version of Finnegan's Wake will be played and sung very loud at the reception/after party - no doubt fueled by plenty of Guinness and Jameson's. (The Wind is one of the most brilliant, poignent things I've ever heard it. If you haven't heard it, please do yourself a favor and check it out. I know LCR loves it as well. Don't know that he knows the Zevon-Gonzo connnection and all the stuff about Hunter sending Warren chapters of Skinny Dip as soon as he fineshed writing them, but not getting tthe last instalment to him before he died. Yeah, he probably knows all that, but it just makes Warren's passing that much sadder.) Edited October 3, 2006 by FlaSoxxJim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE that song - but it makes me cry when I watch the video. Looking at Freddy (who had to have known by that point he was terminally ill) just kills me.

Just like that scene in goodfellas Jim Gordon, the Derek and the Dominoes drummer, wrote that beautiful bit of music. Then a few years laterhe started hearing voices in his head and he murdered his mother to try to get them to stop. Yep. . . pretty, pretty bit of music that.

Soxy Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hmmm, for me, I would probably have to songs: First, "I hate everyone" by Get Set Go And finally, I would dedicate (from the grave) Zepplin's "Wish you were here" to my friends and fam. My dad, however, wants Spirit in the Sky and Jesus is just alright by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
