A few assorted friends, colleagues and former Literature of the Apocalypse students are gathering to celebrate the winter solstice and to take stock in Mayan predictions of the end of the world. We are ushering in the New Age with a party of raucous revelry and some adult beverages. Here's the set list we'll be listening to as we count down the hours remaining until 12/21/12 turns the calendar page.

Chuck, I am impressed by the breadth of your music collection. I have a lot of these, but some I have never listened to, until now. Some great and appropriate selections.
ReplyDeleteI might add Last Tears by the Walkabouts, Muddy Water by Seldom Scene, End of the Line by the Traveling Wilburys, Things Have Changed by (again) Bob Dylan, Can't Find My Way Home by Blind Faith, Miles from Nowhere by Cat Stevens, In the Year 2525 by Zager & Evans, Lyke-Wake Dirge by Pentangle, Unfinished Life by Kate Wolf, etc. etc.
Cheers, and good luck with the apocalype!
