I tell my wife I want Freebird played at my funeral. She just rolls her eyes.

“I tell my wife I want Freebird played at my funeral. She just rolls her eyes.”

Hell I don’t even know you and I’m rolling my eyes.....

I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd at the Spectrum in Philly in 1976 about a year-and-a-half before they crashed. I wasn’t real familiar with their music and only went because a friend had tickets. Some people were yelling “Freebird” almost from the start of the show and my friend explained it was the band’s biggest hit. I also remember Ronnie Van Zant getting annoyed about it and basically telling people, “Okay, you know we’ll be doing that one at the end.”

It was an enjoyable concert but in retrospect I wish I was as familiar with their songs as I am now.

Well, the line “But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
things just couldn’t be the same.” is pretty relevant, considering how much you’d stink in a week or so.

*If* I were going to even have a funeral, I’m torn between something by Type O Negative and Alice Cooper.

[Maybe “Love You To Death” or “Killed By Love”]

Hell, I could put together a playlist and have a pretty morbid concert going on.

;D

Same here. I told my wife I want "Gimme Three Steps" played. Eye roll. LOL!

I figure “Sweet Home Alabama” would be suitable for my wake because, after all, “Lord, I’m comin’ home to you.”

But, “Freebird” could work, too.
