1. Jarrod HypnerotomachiaPoliphili (TeddyF.Ballgame) Posted: December 22, 2011 at 06:52 PM (#4022040)And I say that not as a Fogerty hater. CCR was a major, major band. "Centerfield" is just a swing and a miss.
I want to be alive for my funeral.
Put me in (the ground), coach! I'm ready to decay!
Sounds like a hell of a service. Hope it brought the family some comfort.
When I die (now don't think I'm a nut), don't want no fancy funeral, just one like old King Tut.
I don't have any stats to back me up, but does this seem like a thing that is happening more & more frequently (I mean, as opposed to just murder or homicide)? Here in suburban Illinois a woman killed her boyfriend & 3 children before shooting herself.
It might just be that these stories are making the headlines more often.
And they really piss me off.
You're gonna off yourself? Fine. You can burn in hell if you're a murderous prick. But leave your ####### kids alone.
I think the novelty of being buried alive will wear off fast.
That might have been enough to make those 600 mourners wish they had joined him.
For whatever reason I really don't like "Centerfield" at all. Can't explain it.
Every time I hear it I picture myself back in Little League, being replaced in the last inning by some .023 hitter who's the beneficiary of the "everyone gets to play" rule, and who's been nagging the coach for the last five innings by singing that song through an amplifier.
The definitive fuenral song is Amazing Grace, on bagpipes.
Nah, this is the one and only way to go. Anything else is just bush league.
"There Used to be a Ballpark" has the right tone.
And at that point, it will literally be true.
You people who like "Centerfield" are baseball fans? I don't believe it.
Sesame Street fans, that I can believe.
/oh and Centerfield blows. So contrived, and made even worse by considering the obvious immense talents of the author
