Obscure Music Friday

Song: Don't Fear the Reaper

Artist: Blue Oyster Cult

Why I Picked This Song: It is not an an obscure song by any means, I believe, but it's Halloween. And as long as we are considering scary things, let me tell you that I cannot listen to this song and not recall how it was used in the opening of Stephen King's miniseries, The Stand. And that scared the beejzus out of me. So if you want to avoid the stuff of nightmares, don't watch this video.

Ghosts don't bother me. Monsters I can handle. I know demons. But the idea of a biological strain of virus wiping out most of the population and being left alive to deal with the complete collapse of civilization in the post-apocalyptic terrain? Brrrrrrrr . . .

Digi, I read The Stand when it came out, way back when, but I never saw the mini-series. Someone else mentioned it it me. I guess I am going to have to find a copy.
Don't Fear the Reaper, that takes me back to my high school days!

I could never get through a Steven King book but some of his movies were well done, especially Rose Red which I highly recommend.
