We'll All Be Dead Soon. Do Something GREAT.
Taylor Hawkins was 50 years old when he died. One of the greatest rock drummers alive, in peak form, mid-tour with the Foo Fighters. Gone. Just like that. No warning. No chance for one more show, one more album, one last time behind the kit.
We will all be dead soon. That is not pessimism. It is the most clarifying fact available to us. Memento Mori - remember that you will die. The Stoics used this not to induce despair but to induce urgency. If you knew you had six months left, what would change? If the answer is anything, start there. Right now.
Top Gun teaches the same lesson in a different language: even the best must keep growing. Maverick knows he's fast. The question is whether fast is enough. Whether the standard he built his identity on is still the right standard. Complacency kills. Not just careers - it kills the life you were supposed to live.
Run for your life. Do something great. Not someday. Now. We'll all be dead soon.
Wake Up. Run For Your Life With Me.
"Run" is a song by American rock band The Foo Fighters. It was released as a single on June 1, 2017. The band was contemplating the fact that they were getting old. Taylor Hawkins, their drummer, suggested that they should be 100 years-old and thrashing in the video. Taylor Hawkins died unexpectedly March 25, 2022 at age 50. R.I.P. Taylor 🙁
