Bob Marley was buried in a crypt near his birthplace with his Gibson Les Paul, a soccer ball, a fat Cannabis bud, a bong, a ring that he wore every day that was given to him by the Prince Asfa Wossen of Ethiopia and a Bible.
Ignoring the Bible part, isn’t that the coolest shit ever? Being buried with pot and bong…
When I die I want a badass Viking funeral. I think it’s illegal now in most countries but still…
Burial scares me and grosses me out. I don’t want to be food for maggots once I die. The Hindu cremation system comes with a shitload of disgustingly archaic and pointless rituals. Balls to that.
Now the Vikings, they did some cool shit. They gathered on the beach in the evening and lit a huge bonfire. They then laid the dead chap on a longboat and set it adrift. Viking men would then poke arrows in the bonfire and fire them on the ship thereby setting it ablaze. And then they’d watch as the burning ship faded into the horizon. It is said that if the colour of the flame matched the fiery red of the sunset then the dead man would go to Valhalla.
And in my longboat I want a copy of Catcher in the Rye, my saxophone (assuming I live long enough to learn to play one), my G.I.Joes (yeah yeah, you can make fun of me now…), a lochaber axe and a spagenhelm.That’s it I guess.
