HIGHWAY TO HELL

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

prison-planet-hellRecently, a 52-year old trades person (a chimney builder) living in Bavaria, passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack.  Ironically, only a few weeks before he died he told his friends that when he died he wanted them to play the song “Highway To Hell” at his funeral ceremony.  Bavaria, like many unfortunate areas of the planet, is heavily controlled by the Catholic Church.  So, the priest who presided over the funeral ceremony decided that the wishes of the deceased should be ignored.  So, the song the Bavarian man wanted his friends and family to hear, as a tribute to his Life and Spirit, was not played. Rather, “proper religious songs” were played according to the dictates of the church.

I am duty-b0und to post the song on my Blog in honor of this man.  Each person deserves a chance to to live their OWN life, to think their own thoughts and die their own death.  I also want to say — on behalf of a disembodied spirit of the deceased — “fuck you!” to all priests — the self-appointed prison guards of the Spiritual Beings living in the Virtual Hell we call Earth.  As an Immortal Spiritual Being I am confident that this disembodied spirit will complete his personal journey on the “Highway to Hell”, when he is reincarnated in a new baby body, and starts driving again on the “Highway to Hell” that we all Earth.  Let the celebration is His Life begin!  May he Rest In Peace…..

LYRICS:

Living easy, loving free, season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be, taking everything in my stride
Don’t need reason, don’t need rhyme
Ain’t nothing that I’d rather do
Going down, party time, my friends are gonna be there too

I’m on the highway to hell
Highway to Hell
I’m on the highway to hell

No stop signs, speed limit, nobody’s gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it, nobody’s gonna mess me around
Hey Satan, paying my dues, playing in a rocking band
Hey Mumma, look at me, I’m on my way to the promised land

I’m on the highway to hell
Highway to Hell
I’m on the highway to hell

Don’t stop me

I’m on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell
Highway to Hell
I’m on the highway to hell

And I’m going down, all the way
I’m on the highway to hell!

THOUGHTS ABOUT DEATH BY DEAD PEOPLE BEFORE THEY DIED

FROM THE PREFACES TO THE BOOK   1001 THINGS TO DO WHILE YOU’RE DEAD: A DEAD PERSON’S GUIDE TO LIVING —

“I wonder if I could have been here before? As I drive up the Roman road the theater seems familiar. Perhaps I headed a legion up that same white road… I passed a chateau in ruins which I possibly helped escalade in the Middle Ages. There is no proof nor yet any denial.  We were, We are, and We will be.”

— General George S. Patton

“Eternity is not something that begins after you’re dead. It is going on all the time. We are in it now.”

— Charlotte Perkins Gilman

“After your death you will be what you were before your birth.”

— Arthur Schopenhauer

“I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.”

— Benjamin Franklin

“That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange eons even Death may die.”

— H.P. Lovecraft

A BEST FRIEND

FRIENDLY ADVICEThe older my body gets (almost 70) I become more aware of the ancient adage: “Life is short”.  Indeed, it seems so.  What is a single lifetime in the order of the cosmos?  Less than a blink of an eye .  Through eternity there is only one companion, as far as I know.  Yourself.  If we find being alone difficult, without friends, we may have a very long time to endure existence without others to keep us distracted from ourselves in the “great beyond”, whatever that may be.  So, being our own best friend makes good sense.
