According to Harold Camping, an 89 year-old former civil engineer and construction foreman, the Judgement Day will come this Saturday May 21st. Camping is now a U.S. evangelical Christian broadcaster, who previously made a prediction that Jesus Christ would return to earth in 1994, has encouraged his supporters to post 2,200 billboards across the country spreading his word.
Camping told Reuters; "We know without any shadow of a doubt it is going to happen."
His predictions are based upon his study of the bible and the time-line correlation between ancient and modern times. Camping says that earthquakes will begin on Saturday and true believers will be whisked away to heaven and the non-believers will be left behind to pick up the pieces of what's left.
Mr. Camping has already got his Saturday planned, he told Reuters; "I'll probably try to be very near a TV or a radio or something," he said. "I'll be interested in what's happening on the other side of the world as this begins."
Now, regardless of whether I believe his Doomsday prediction or not, which I don't, this makes perfect topical subject matter for our next mix.

I hope you stuck in the live text of misty in roots.
ReplyDelete"The judgement is to come"
Either way it was nice to know you.
See you on the dark side John

Damn! There were so many "end of times" tunes to include I unfortunately missed Misty In Roots... oh well, there's always the next judgment day!
ReplyDeleteWhen we get to the dark side Pace let's get together for some drinks.
you'll be missed, thanks for putting in the time, I suppose we can play this on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tunage over the years.
ReplyDeleteAnd, is it wrong to suggest that when one of these types predicts the end of the world and it doesn't occur ... nice men from Langley show up the next day and make sure it's the end of the world for the one making the prediction? Bet it would cut down on the false alarms.
BTW, the world will end on July 1, 3535 ... hope to be here on July 2, 3535 to meet the nice men from Langley.
Awesome mix bro! We can save it for the next rapture prediction. Fools. Thanks for making our last day a musical pleasure.
ReplyDeleteI _would_ have spent my last hour listening to the music, but I figured I could always get it today. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteawesome compilation... but you should have included the classic 1977 song "Two Sevens Clash" by Culture.
ReplyDeletethat was the year that many Rastas (or was it one particular branch of Rastas?? I forget) believed that when the "two sevens clashed" (19-77 happened), that the end of the world would come..
and of course, they were wrong LOL but what a killer song that is :)
Originally I had Two Sevens Clash in the playlist but it was one of a few that didn't make it in the mix
