One of the most moving spoken word pieces I've ever heard was Dan Savage's eulogy for his mother on This American Life.

More like fuck....ing awesome. Now maybe his kids will grow up normal.

Fuck michael jackson unless an autopsy will show he had some undiagnosed medical condition, and if so.. then i will feel sorry for him and sorrier for any victims.

The man had everything, including talents, and this is how it ends, huh?

Makes you think or something. Some people get shot in the street, other people live a torrid life of scandal and fame. Maybe the rest of us aren't so bad off in the middle.

How strange though I must admit he was not on my watch list of celebrities on the way out~ Hardly newsworthy in these current days, unless the middle east loves him enough to stop fighting and mourn for a year or so... he was internationally popular, maybe he's like a new jesus or something.

The music was good but really no one person can take credit (well maybe quincy jones). Producers, writers, musicians.. everyone who made his career possible... i guarantee if you search the world over you can find someone equally as talented who will never be given the opporunity to become anything. It's just a statistical reality. It could even be you.

And that's how I feel about MJ. He had a great life. (well after the beatings and psychological trauma and such.. but hey my dads an asshole too.. boo hoo)

LOL i should give his eulogy so i can be stoned to death and not in a good way.

This lengthy apologia for terrorists and anti-semites reaches it's climax as a weepy eulogy for St. Pancake (Rachel Corrie) by her ISM enablers.

If you want to see what happens when people stop sipping the Koolaide, and just dive right in, watch this video.

If memes could have eulogies, this would be a shining example.

great sift! i love em. check out olafur arnalds too, he toured on the 2008 european tour supporting sigur ros and his album 'eulogy for evolution' is pretty amazing too.

(ill sift more of him later, if you guys wont do it (if you do, let me know for a guaranteed upvote))

(btw, dunno if it available as a vid but 3055 is a great song by him)

I saw Bush live about 10 years ago, at Cal Expo in Sac (Veruca Salt and some terrible Sweedish band called Souls opened).

Some fuckwit threw a water bottle at Gavin, and hit him square in the face and knocked himout.

Every time I see a show in Sac, some mouthbreather has to throw their shoe or water bottle on stage. If Tool ever comes back to Sac after the November show a few years back, the one where some fucking idiot threw a shoe at Maynard during Eulogy, I'd be thoroughly surprised.

>> ^choggie:
hate for it to look like choggie downvotes all yer vids without watching them, but for the tone, titles, and tags...that's exactly what it is-

Choggie, I get that you disagree with my overall theme to, well, everything I post, both vids and comments, but is that really a valid reason to now downvote all of it?

You don't seem to have any positive input to make, you just call everything anyone suggests stupid and mindless, and never put forward any sort of suggestion about what people should be doing.

It's obvious you've lost hope that anything can be changed, but I have hope still about fixing things. Disagree with my methods on the actual merits all you like, but don't just spout "it's hopless, you idiots" and downvote everything. That's just petty and childish, especially if this is some sort of retaliation for what I said about your shameful comments about Ted Kennedy.

Downvote if I post something uninteresting, don't downvote because you disagree with the message.

Though the trouble now is that we have a president without enough "intelligence" to accompany his "courage", or too much courage and too little intelligence.

QFT:

"Few are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change. And I believe that in this generation those with the courage to enter the moral conflict will find themselves with companions in every corner of the globe."
