Rock And Roll Heaven
A song by the Righteous Brothers just came on called Rock And Roll Heaven. The last time I talked to my dad, the day he died, I asked him what he wanted for his upcoming birthday. He told me wither the new Bob Seger album (which had "Like A Rock" on it) or the 45 of "Rock And Roll Heaven".
I always thought that was a little odd that he asked for THAT song on the day he died.
Well, I can't say I even KNEW what song it was, but it was just on the radio as they are remembering musicians who died this year (like Dan Fogelberg).
What a great sad song...
Rock And Roll Heaven
If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a band, band, band
Jimmy gave us rainbows
And Janis took a piece of our hearts
And Otis brought us all to the dock of a bay
Sing a song to light my fire
Remember Jim that way
They've all found another place
Another place to play
If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a band, band, band
Remember bad bad Leroy Brown
Hey Jimmy touched us with that song
Time won't change a friend we came to know
And Bobby gave us Mack the Knife
Well look out, he's back in town
They'll all be there together
When they meet in one big show
If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a band, band, band
There's a spotlight waiting
No matter who you are
'Cause everybody's got a song to sing
Everyone's a star
(Everybody's got to be a star)
If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a band
If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a band
If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a band, band, band
Imagine all the people you could add to that thing NOW...
Lennon, Cobain, Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, John Bonham, Keith Moon, John Entwhistle, Syd Barrett, Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Ray Vaughn, damned near ALL the Temptations and Ramones, Joe Strummer, Barry White, Luther Vandross, half the brothers Gibb, John Belushi, Tupac, Biggie, Easy E, Cozy Powell, Jeff Porcaro, Hillel Slovak, Cliff Burton, Randy Rhodes, Minnie Repperton, Selena, Jam Master Jay, Richard Manuel, Rick Danko, most of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Duane Allman, Dan Fogelberg and so many more...
