“Prepare yourself you know it’s a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He’s gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky”

[Wolfie]

Small car or Big motorcycle?

[Da Coyote]

Not good.

Prayers for all involved.

Jesus Freaks from the hippies.

“Prepare yourself you know it’s a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He’s gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky

Recommend you to the spirit in the sky
That’s where you’re gonna go when you die
When you die and they lay you to rest
Gonna go to the place that’s the best

I’ve been a sinner you know I’ve sinned
But I’ve got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He’s gonna set me up with the spirit in the sky”

I recently heard a cover of Spirit in the Sky and the performers changed the “never been a sinner/never sinned” lyrics to something more theologically accurate.

Gosh, that song brings back some great memories. The Lord be with you, Norman.

[wally_bert]

Didn’t know he was alive.

[9thLife]

Godspeed, rocker!

[trisham]

He’s a very nice man. I hope he’s all right.

[TNoldman]

Prayers up for Norman.

His song is on my all time favorites.

May God be with all those involved in the accident.

The driver of the motorcycle, 20-year-old Ihab Usama Halaweh, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, according to the CHP statement. A passenger on the motorcycle, Nhmia Mekonnen Kahsay, 20, was also brought to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital in critical condition, the statement said. …

Sorry to say, but names like that still make the red flags go up for me. Especially what with Greenbaum being Jewish (in spite of the references to Jesus in the lyrics of SITS).

Hard to believe a Subaru can turn in front of a motorcycle? Kinda like guns that kill people.
Stupid people who call themselves reporters trying to write stories.
I guess the printers using letters to write stories is more like it! lol

Great memories of walking the boardwalk in Wildwood,NJ and the head/poster/record shops blasting "Spirit in The Sky." I bought my first Zap comic back then.

[cld51860]

I always liked that song.

[TalBlack]

Prayers up for Greenbaum.

I’ve always thought his hit “Spirit In The Sky” was originally meant to be mocking but that he thought better of the impulse afterwards and went with”Yeah, I meant to do that”.

[vetvetdoug]

I watched an interview with Dick Clark and he was asked who the nicest and most gracious guest he ever had on American Bandstand. His response was Norman Greenbaum first with Elvis a close second. I was surprised.

Spirit In The Sky remains one of my wife's all-time favorite songs. It was her favorite song forty-five years ago when she used to dance at the discos of her home in Norwich, England.

A few years ago I was watching tv while my wife was in the bathroom getting ready to go to bed. An info commercial for sixties hits came on the tv, and they started playing Spirit In The Sky. My wife raced out of the bathroom and started dancing in front of the tv screen. I was quite amused by the spectacle to say the least.

Showbiz types always seem to be involved in breathtaking “mishaps”.I,OTOH,have,in my life,had two minor accidents,no drug ODs,no stints in “rehab”,no messy divorces,no affairs and not a single brush with the law.
