When Taylor Hawkins suddenly passed, that was the end of Foo Fighters as we knew it. Of course, they added Josh Freeze to step in and try to fill the shoes of Hawkins. The band continues on in a new way.
Separate from that, you had NOFX play their last show on October 6 this year. They knew the day had come that it was time to retire after a 40-year run.
The point is, we never know when the last time we will do something is. The last day of high school is a known thing. But the last live show? Maybe that is uncertain. And perhaps you won’t get there.
We don’t always get to choose to say goodbye. Therefore, it is a privilege. We focus on so much of the negative aspects of getting older, but we don’t see how lucky we are to be in a spot like that.
