Jeff's "Last Goodbye" is the most heartbreakingly perfect goodbye, isn't it? Is your heart breaking a bit today?
I saw The B-52's Wednesday night. FAB SHOW! Look for a post this weekend.
It's a good thing you didn't decide that Deadbeat Club was going to be the anthem of your last day. Happy freedom to you!
Congrats on your last day! I think I'm going to listen to Last Goodbye right now. That song is GOOD!
Awesome selection - I LOVE that Kinks song, what a great kick-off. I never thought I'd ask this question, but can I come to your funeral?
I forgot about "In the Evening" -- pretty cool for "late Zeppelin."
2 Songs by The Most Over-rated Band in Rock History? Enough to give you the Wet Heaves.....
Congratulations on your last day of teaching.
I haven't heard "Welcome to the Boomtown" in years, i think of that as a quintessential 80's Reagan-era song
I remember my last week of college. One of my roommates and I were getting very misty and so one night we sat around getting drunk listening to "appropriate" songs like "Time of Your Life" by Green Day, "I Wanna Go Back" by Eddie Money and "This Time of Year" by Better Than Ezra.
Twice in my life the song "Wish you were here" by Pink Floyd came on the radio as I was driving away from work on my last day.
Perfect when you are leaving what you don't like. Maybe not so much for you.
Best in the future.
Beth-
It is.
I am so jealous! I look forward to the post!
Barbara-
It kind of was, actually-- we didn't do anything.
I was thinking that I hope "Welcome to the Boomtown" will be the theme of my new job...
Natalie-
Now I'm going to have to go listen to it!
Kristi-
Absolutely-- but you've got to promise to make me one of your margaritas...
Erik-
Absolutely, a great song on what was a pretty weak album.
Elk-
Damn-- it's too late to cancel the Zeppelin reunion I've got scheduled to play at your next birthday...
Bubs-
Thanks! Yes, that song is a real period piece, isn't it?
Beckeye-
My last night of college, in July of 1985, a bunch of my friends and I grabbed some beer and went to watch the movie they were showing out on the quad. The movie turned out to be The Big Chill. It was funny-- it did occur to me during the movie that this was the group of friends from college that I'd stay friends with for life. And I have. My late friend Mark was one of the people there that night.
Jess-
I was definitely ready to leave. I was getting to the point where I hated the job, because of the incompetent administrators.
Funny-- I heard "Wish You Were Here" a couple of days ago on the radio.
Great random ten! It's like you stole my iPod...
