My dad would’ve been 75 today. He was four months older than me when he died of a heart attack and undoubtedly had CTE, as well. Really wish he got to meet & play with my son πŸ–€

I haven't heard that song in a *long* while :) Saw them once a long time ago and maybe played a show with them too? Regardless, it's been a minute and happy to hear them again.
