The final countdown is ON. I never imagined my last day on Earth would be spent at a soccer game. If I had my way I would be listening to the following playlist while hosting a wine tasting of epic proportions.
One song, one bottle (or at least a taste of each). No one will really care as 6 p.m. approaches.
It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine) by R.E. M. with Conundrum California White
Rapture by Blondie with Rapture Cabernet Sauvignon (duh)
Don’t Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult with Ghostly White
Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley with Redemption Zin
Cities in Dust by Siouxsie and the Banshees with Zombie Zin
Death Don’t Have No Mercy by Grateful Dead with Velvet Devil Merlot
Sympathy for the Devil by Rolling Stones with Sympathy For the Devil Icewine (a gimme)
Waiting For The End of The World by Elvis Costello with Cataclysm Cabernet Sauvignon
Until the End of the World by U2 with Temptation Zin
My Apocalypse by Metallica with Return of the Living Red
The End by The Doors with 7 Deadly Zins
Apocalypse Please by Muse with Plum Loco Sweet Plum & Cherry Wine
When the World Ends by Dave Matthews Band with Pino Evil
Here Comes The Flood by Peter Gabriel with Clean Slate Riesling
Heaven is a Place On Earth by Belinda Carslile with Angel Juice Pinot Grigio
The End by The Beatles with Relax Riesling
and, well, since the end is coming anyway why the Hell not…
Why Don’t We Get Drunk And Screw by Jimmy Buffett with some of my favorite Sin Zin
Party on, Winos…
Cheers!
Awesome list! I have bookmarked — just it in case I am not one of those taken home in the rapture today! In that event, I will need the list to await the end of the world in 2012. Cheers from another wino! =]

Of course, I have neglected to remember that the end is also coming in 5 months… Geez, how is a wino supposed to keep track of all these endings???

Loved, loved, loved this. Also thankful that I am alive and able to read it today. Cheers!
