Don't forget that Harlan could be stern when necessary!

Harlan's taste in music was eclectic, running the gamut from Nancy Sinatra to.........

the all-time best band name is The Butthole Surfers

I always wanted to change that quote to:

the all-time best party game is The Butthole Surfers

Maybe Harlan went to Saturn to be with sun ra:

For people who don't know about Sun Ra & Solar Arkestra, he's a jazz musician who kept a band together form the 1940's until his death in, I forget mid 1990's. His concerts were wild affairs. Everything from electronic distortion to dixieland jazz. They dress-up as spacemen, and claim to be from SAturn.

Uhhh, it sounds hokey. But actually the guy is a musical genius, some compare his body of work to Duke Ellington or Charles Mingus. They recorded about 100 albums. The concerts were the thing, nothing like um.

I have about 60 sun ra albums. that sounds obsessive, but they are all good. Many were never heard by more than a few people until remastered for CD."

Reminds me of this story from last week:

Brazilian makes surprise visit at own funeral
59-year-old shocks mourners who believed they were burying crash victim
The Associated Press
updated 2:26 p.m. ET, Wed., Nov . 4, 2009
RIO DE JANEIRO - A Brazilian bricklayer reportedly killed in a car crash shocked his mourning family by showing up alive at his funeral.

Relatives of Ademir Jorge Goncalves, 59, had identified him as the victim of a Sunday night car crash in Parana state in southern Brazil, police said.

As is customary in Brazil, the funeral was held the following day, which happened to be the holiday of Finados, when Brazilians visit cemeteries to honor the dead.

What family members didn't know was that Goncalves had spent the night at a truck stop talking with friends over drinks of a sugarcane liquor known as cachaca, his niece Rosa Sampaio told the O Globo newspaper. He did not get word about his own funeral until it was already happening Monday morning.

A police spokesman in the town of Santo Antonio da Platina said Goncalves rushed to the funeral to let family members know he was not dead.

"The corpse was badly disfigured, but dressed in similar clothing," said the police spokesman, who talked on condition of anonymity as he wasn't authorized to discuss the case. "People are afraid to look for very long when they identify bodies, and I think that is what happened in this case."

'I had doubts'
Sampaio told O Globo that some family members were not sure the body was Goncalves.

"My two uncles and I had doubts about the identification," she told O Globo. "But an aunt and four of his friends identified the body, so what were we to do? We went ahead with the funeral."

The police spokesman confirmed there were doubts: "His mom looked at the body in the casket and thought something was strange. She looked and looked and couldn't believe it was her son," Sampaio said. "Before long, the walking dead appeared at the funeral. It was a relief."

The body was correctly identified later Monday, the police spokesman said, and has already been buried in another state. He declined to release the actual victim's name.

I hope you die slowly in a painful manner.

Well, they are trying to pass healthcare 'reform' to make sure this happens.
