If you had to pick a song to have played at your funeral that you think would express your life in a way that you'd want it to be remembered what would it be? Mine is the song, I'm going home by Arlo Guthrie from the rocky horror picture show soundtrack. - Sat, 15 May 2004 3:03pm

Joe Brown-I'll See You In My Dreams (from the George Harrison concert which took place a year after his death). Great tune. - Sat, 15 May 2004 3:31pm

though there will most certainly be more than just one song played as my pals raise a glass or three, the closer will most certainly be "fellow rides home" by chet. it could well be the most beautiful song ever. - Sat, 15 May 2004 5:58pm

as much as i hate the guy, i think sid's rendition of 'my way' would be appropriate.
or anything by johnny cash.

my brother said that he wants his head stone to say 'dave is dead, party on'. i think it's going to be a race to see which one of us uses it first. - Mon, 17 May 2004 6:49am

Down There By The Train - written by Waits sung by Cash, or maybe some good old Blind Willie Mctell or Robert Johnson. If that doesn't work I'd just get my friends to borrow the Jukebox from Alzu's and clear the place out.

I'd want my tombstone to read;

"HERE LIES JESSE

oh, gee, so many choices, I'm drawn to The Velvet Underground, of course, O.K. "The Black Angel's Death Song", "The Gift", "Ocean", or "Ride Into the Sun". Maybe "Devil Got My Woman" by Skip James, easily the most depressing song of all time. - Tue, 25 May 2004 4:21pm

"Kick Out The Jams"? I'd rather have the Poison Idea version. I saw them do this at the Town Pump in '91 (Pig Champion "sat" on a couple green milk crates). So, what I'd really like is to have them reunite for my funeral, even if it's eighty years from now, and, as long as Pig is still up to it, I'd like them to play a good two hours, finishing with "jams". And then I want a reunited Mustard Punt to play after them. - Wed, 26 May 2004 2:32pm

I doubt that Pig has got a decade or so left in him. Then again, a 600 pound speed freak should have kicked years ago and yet he's still rockin'! Dat's some amazing shit!

Since we're talking PI, I'll add "Plastic Bomb" to my list. - Thu, 27 May 2004 5:11am
