lekstrom10k 0 #76 June 6, 2008 The guy singing it Weighed about 350 pounds and played a ukelele. It looked like it was a postage stamp on the side of a semi-trailer. The song and the National Anthem were played back to back. It was said it was Eloys wake up call before coming to Quincy too.By the way you could tell who were veterans, because we alone stopped talking stood up and saluted when our Anthem was played My personal favorite was by Simon and Garfunkle "Like a bridge over troubled waters" as it was played at a dear friends funeral. It brings back many memories . With a tear and a grin going at the same time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RB_Hammer 0 #77 June 6, 2008 Seagull, by Bad Company. The song itself never had a meaning to me until a couple of weeks after 9/11. I am driving in my car listening to a local classic rock station hear, 93.3 KDKB, and they play that composite with that song and some quotes of various people over-layed on the lyrics. Don't know why, but I had to pull to the side of the road and cryed like a baby for at least 5 minutes for all of the wasted lives. I had no connection to that tragic event, other than the one we all have as humans and Americans. Anyhow, that song now has meaning to me now and I get a tear whenever I hear it."I'm not lost. I don't know where I'm going, but there's no sense in being late." Mathew Quigley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's been 14 years, but it still gets to me. yeah, that's a good one noting names in the thread I haven't seen before - "superfletch" is a neat handle. but if it's misspelled or misprounounced it could mean something completely different ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

idrankwhat 0 #81 June 6, 2008 "Over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, "IZ" (big Hawaiian ukelele guy). But if I can't find that one, this always gets me. Dear penis I don't think I like you anymore You used to watch me shave Now all you do is stare at the floor Ohh, Dear penis I dont like you anymore It used to be you and me A papertowel and a dirty magazine That's all we needed to be getting by Now it seems things have changed And I think that you're the one to blame Dear penis I don't think I like you anymore He sings: Dear Rodney I don't think I like you anymore 'Cause when you get to drinking You put me places I've never been before Dear Rodney I don't like you anymore Why can't we just get a grip on our man to hand relationship Come to terms truly how we feel If we put our heads together We just stay home forever Dear penis I think I like you after all Oh and Rodney While you're shaving, shave my balls Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AliMac 0 #88 June 6, 2008 This was played at my Uncle's funeral. I listen to it once a year on the day he passed. "Goodbye My Friend" Linda Ronstadt Oh we never know where life will take us I know it's just a ride on the wheel And we never know when death will shake us And we wonder how it will feel So goodbye my friend I know I'll never see you again But the time together through all the years Will take away these tears It's okay now Goodbye my friend I've seen a lot things that make me crazy And I guess I held on to you We could've run away and left well maybe But it wasn't time and we both knew So goodbye my friend I know I'll never see you again But the love you gave me through all the years Will take away these tears I'm okay now Goodbye my friend Life's so fragile and love's so pure We can't hold on but we try We watch how quickly it disappears And we never know why But I'm okay now Goodbye my friend You can go now Goodbye my friend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

galvar2439 0 #100 June 8, 2008 QuoteHere's mine I woke today... And felt your side of bed The covers were still warm where you'd been layin'. You were gone... My heart was filled with dread. You might not be sleepin' here again [Chorus:] It's alright, 'cause I love you. And that's not gonna change. Run me round, make me hurt again and again. But I'll still sing you love songs Written in the letters of your name. And brave the storm to come, For it surely looks like rain. Did you ever waken to the sound Of street cats makin' love And guess from their cries You were listenin' to a fight? Well, you know... Hate's just the last thing they're thinkin' of. They're only trying to make it through the night. [Chorus:] I only want to hold you. I don't want to tie you down. Or fence you in the lines I might have drawn. It's just that I've gotten used to Havin' you around. My landscape would be empty If you were gone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FrzofPfVtc Butterfly kissesSo i just broke up with this woman who wasn't even my girlfriend!
