It's interesting hearing the band working through their feelings on the passing of Bobby Sheehan.
On one hand there's the obvious anger at his poor choices..
"And I guess I'm still pretty angry, And I don't want to be."
But on the other there's profound sense of regret and loss.
"I limped behind your race was won, But were you racing or on the run? How you enjoyed, you loved to drive, And i'm destroyed ... 'cause i'm alive."
It's the conflicting emotions that give this song its incredible poignancy.
