58. This reminds me of a Rod Serling's Night Gallery episode

A hip musician, played by John Astin, get sent to Hell for his sins. No flames, he just winds up in a room full of extremely boring people, including an elderly couple who talk about nothing but their crops, and an old fart who just wants to show slides (This was before digital cameras) of his latest vacation.

Up pops the Devil to tell him that this will be his destination for eternity; the Devil also tells him that: "There's another room, just like this one, up there," meaning that this could be someone's idea of Heaven.

I have no trouble imagining a room down in Hell where you have to spend eternity listening to people like this, probably along with rebroadcasts of the PTL Club, with Tammy Faye crying through her running mascara. The scary thought is, that this is probably someone's idea of Heaven; God help them!

By the way, I could only listen to a few seconds of this guy singing; but, Jesus H. Sebastian Christ, he's awful!

Here's a link to the IMDB page for that episode.
