This is the title of an opinion piece in the Washington Post this morning.
Not something I give much thought about.
Music has ( as We all know ) a lot of power over our thoughts and feelings.
The premise is that hushed tones and quiet around a dying loved one may not serve everyone's last hours.
Often the doctor who wrote the piece hears music coming from patients rooms.
Sometimes it seems to sooth an otherwise unconscious person, other times it gives them cause to interact one last time.
Whats the last song you would want to hear before you die?
I do not have a playlist in mind.
Someday, perhaps.
It sort of brings to mind the Doonsbury strip where the character of Andy Lippencott clings to life until he finally hears a cd of The Beach Boys Pet Sounds.
