Nields' funeral music xpost!
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
My mother chose "The Rose" for her funeral. Ryan now likes that song, and he calls it "Nai Nai Song", Nai Nai being Chinese for Grandma.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Bette Midler "The Rose"??

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've been to two second line funerals so far, one that had a drumming and singing session afterwards. I don't believe I could sustain that, but maybe I should make a list like Jesse, and see what I can work out. My friend in San Francisco doing music therapy (giving, not receiving, to be clear) might be able to hook me up. Let me ask him.

Man, that song makes me cry regardless.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, smonster, I love "In The Gloaming," although I like the harmonies between her and Jennifer Kimball as The Story even better. And, oh, their version of e.e. cummings's "love is more thicker than forget."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh, and in SERIOUSLY BROOKLYN WHAT THE FUCK news, that rash I have may actually be German measles.
Fucking overprivileged ignorant anti-fucking-vaxxers.
(It could also just be a weird viral reaction to the antibiotics I was on last week, but apparently it looks just like "textbook German measles" Which she "really didn't expect to see!" So yay me, I'm so surprising, I get diseases we should have wiped out before I was born. Fortunately I was vaccinated as a baby, so I probably won't get anything worse than a rash because I do have some latent immunity. And thank fuck my kids are fully vaccinated with fancy modern vaccines that work better than the ones they were using in the 70s.)

Because books.
Holy shit, Jessica. WTF is right.
And oh my god, I loved "The Rose" when it came out, and played my 45 until it was worn out.
