But then:
a) I'm probably focussing on the negative rather than the positive in the track titles
and
b) The man is probably being simply realistic and that at 82 he realises he isn't going to keep going for ever
I think that you are both right that BB starts the album off and lets us know whats on his mind like any great Artist should do with those 5 songs about ones mortality,but then he reminds us of who he really is, a uplifting,joyous man that represents the Blues in a major way.......
