Music/Life

I'll say fade away. I lost my best friend and a brother who was very dear to me because although both were joyful beings, they paid little attention to their physical well-being. I wish that they were still here to enjoy life with me, and eventually, to fade away with me.

Neil said "It's better to burn out than fade away." in one of his old songs from the 80's. His opinion is worth nothing to me.

Neil Young had to be thinking of all the rock musicians who died at age 27 when he wrote that song:

Jimi Hendrix

Janis Joplin

Brian Jones

Jim Morrison

Ron Pigpen Mc Kernan

Alan Wilson

Pete Ham

Dave Alexander

Gary Thain

That marked me. It obviously marked him too. Somehow he didn't follow up on those lyrics and is still kicking. Me too.

Yes; I'm aware of Neil's lyric re: Johnny Rotten.

Whatever implications that might have for forum members escapes me.

@roxy54 - "Hey Hey My My" was from the 70's, not the 80's.

Thanks for the correction. I've never been one of his fans, so I just made a guess.
