What music do you want to be listening to when you croak?
Some friends told me their 90+-year-old mother was filling out some paperwork related to dying/last wishes. One of the questions was: What do you want to listen to as you ?
Her answer was the music of a classical composer.
That seems like a really nice, peaceful way to go. I gotta say, though, as I shed my earthly suit, I’m going with Springsteen Live at the Hammersmith Odeon 1975. From beginning to end, just a helluva show. Absolutely great performance.
Sorry Bob.

Re: What music do you want to be listening to when you croak?
If I had to pick an album, I'd probably go with (What's the Story) Morning Glory by Oasis. It's probably not my very favorite album, but it's right up there, and smoking a joint while listening to that album on my ipod while looking up at the stars is one of my fondest memories of music.
If I only got to pick one song, I don't think I'd necessarily go with my favorite song. I think I'd go with this one:

I don’t care I just want it to be quick. Not like flight of the bumblebee quick more like I barely am aware I’m dying and

Thought about this before. If I could hear one tune before lights-out...

Very nice. Short song, though, so you’d really be under pressure to get the job done quickly.

You might want to give Pantry’s song a listen.

I like that, but I might wait to have it played at my funeral.

A song that won't be written for at least 50 years.

Mine would be Springsteen at Winterland, December 16th, 1978. That version of "Backstreets" was nearly 12 minutes long.

Bob, as cool as it was meeting you and as great of a guy that you are, and also knowing I’ll beat you to the grave, but if I don’t, and they play an 11 and 1/2 minute song at your funeral, I’m getting up to go to my car for a bud light.
No offense but this summer I went to my brother in laws fathers funeral. It was about an hour forty five, not joking. Brevity in life and brevity in death is a great motto to follow.

My guess is at Bob’s funeral, bringing beer into the service will be both welcome and expected.

I would say well played but given your answer, that seems a little premature.

So much for going out; that’s going to wake the dead.

Been listening to Sirius/XM while running errands tonight. The Bruce channel is tracking his live show from 9/19/78 in Passaic.

"Passaic Nights" - I have a bootleg of that show. Same Backstreets/Sad Eyes interlude. Every night of that tour, the story Bruce would tell during "Sad Eyes" was different. Evolved into "Drive All Night" from The River.tGreenWay wrote:Robert J Sakimano wrote: solid.
