My birthday is five days away, I’m turning 24. Seven years ago in the summer of '99 after Id just turned 17; John F. Kennedy Jr. was killed in a plane crash after flying into bad weather conditions. This made me contemplate my own mortality and what kind of shitty tribute video would play after I was dead (because I'll have one, or more). John-John unfortunately had one of the lamest tribute videos I have ever seen, almost as bad as any Jonathan Brandis Fan-boy tributes. Sarah McMahan’s "I Will Remember You" was voted the worst song of '99 by me. This song plays during a montage of John-John's most touching moments, I suppose. In a tribute I call bubble gum bullshit, the editors of this piece of shit play on peoples emotions to try to make them feel better or get ratings or whatever. Id sat around my house for most of that summer, getting high with my mother, Listening to music and coming up with my own tributes in my head. This mix is a collection of my own made up tribute montages for myself.
In all honesty I'd love to go out in fashion, wearing steel toed boots singing along to whole lotta love, disappearing into dark waters never to be scene alive again; leaving a melancholy legacy of promise and outstanding music that has critics and fan-boys Cumming with each passing year. Somebody already beat me to my perfect death wish, Damn you Buckley. I have a feeling I’m going to die and the only way people will remember me will be by a few shitty tribute montages I'm going to put out on You-Tube made by myself. Sad, but funny. I'm willing to go out in hilarious/Ironic fashion (I'm not above it).
Right now an awesome episode of Star Trek TOS is on; the episode is the second part of a two-fer called "The Menagerie". These aliens called the Talosians have the power to project Illusions into the minds of other races, they are trying to collect human for sceintific/alein purposes. Anyway I was just watching the episode and wanted to liken these tributes to this episode. These tributes project a false front of who these people are, they try to sum it up in 3 1/2 minutes of bullshit. When it's time to go to Heaven to be with Jesus and Moses and Jehovah, I want them to watch my tribute and let in the fucking pearly gates because I had a sense of humor. Sorry for the idiotic rambling, I'd just though about this stupid Idea last night when I got drunk at work.
I want to see what you badasses have in mind for your own tribute, post your tribute, song and description in the comments.
If you liked the mix flash once, if you think it sucked flash twice (Jesus, I’m going to nerd hell).
