Yeah, I've seen him do it, but he wrote it for Mott, they made it famous, and that's what we're voting on.

Oh, Whole Lotta Love.

Teh boxer.

My friend played Into the Mystic on a boombox at his mother's funeral just a few months after she spoke at my wedding. Makes me cry....

yeah , When people play songs at funerals it is a great way to mess up a song forever. Same with Mclaughlin's Angel song played at my aunts funeral. I just can't listen to it without it provoking strong sad emotions.

This reminded me.
I have decided on Walk To The Paradise garden for my moms funeral when the time comes.
I didn't go looking. I heard it one day and just knew I wanted that one. I don't know if that is sick or morbid to plan but it has to happen at sometime. I just don't see how she can go on like this for very long. The song inspires all of the peace I hope is there waiting for her when she does go. I don't want her to of course. She is suffering. I don't know how long people can suffer but I just can't see very far out in the future for her.

I'm sorry...what a downer

That just spilled out.

At this point I would say "Simple Man" is the surprise underdog. But does it have the legs to beat one of the greatest rock anthems of all time?
