James Keelaghan told me this story...
He had gone home to calgary after hearing that his dad had a major heart-attack.. When he arrived, they still weren't letting people in to see him, so the family assembled at his sisters place. They were sat around the kitchen table, having drinks and thinking about what might happen, when James nephew climbed into his lap and asked, "Uncle Jim, Who dies?"

Which, of course, was the inspiration for the last track on Road

Who Dies

My nephew once asked me when he was quite young
Who dies? I said, Everyone dies
No use denying it one day you're done
Oh, everyone dies
Princes and paupers there's no one immune
And no one who'll escape their demise
So you'd better make use of each day that you're given
Oh everyone dies

Now people have pondered this time and again
Who dies? Everyone dies
We suspect that we're more than mere mortal remains
Oh everyone dies
Wise men and prophets they've all had their say
On the nature of our afterlives
But incase there's no beer there we'll have one more round
Oh everyone dies

Your time may be short or your time may be long
Who dies? Everyone dies
But it's going to happen as sure as you're born
Oh everyone dies
Friends and relations and all we hold dear
Will one day pass to the other side
So we'd better embrace them as long as they're here
Oh everyone dies

This song alone is worth the price fo the CD!
