Aerosmith? I just lost a little respect for Andy.

when did andy appear in the strip? is he a friend from college days?

Uh-Oh. The saddest story arc…

Does he have AIDS?

I’m an old ‘Dead Head’ but Aerosmith wouldn’t be a bad choice.

Chicago would be my choice to lead my procession to the boneyard, though. Gotta have all that brass !

New Orleans style if you want a band and parade.

“Spirit in the Sky” is the one for me.

No music – just the poem “Hhen I am Dead, My Dearest” by Christina Rossetti, as read by the late Jonathan Frid (Barnabas Collins on the series “Dark Shadows”, and the chorus of “Gravedigger” by Dave Matthews – in English and German.

Andy J. Lippencot (sp?) (if my memory serves me right, he was included on “the blanket”)

Barber’s Adagio, so everyone else will be depressed, too.

Roll me up and smoke me when I die

Jumping ahead a few years, all I can hear is, “Please allow me to introduce myself…..”

Martinperry1 suggested Spirit in the Sky, and i’m on my third replay. How did I miss that one? I’m atheist, but it’s a helluva song. Maybe if the Southern Baptist Convention had adopted this song, i’d still be involved…..

Richard Wagner: Siegfried’s Funeral Music.
