Earlier this week Taylor Hawkins passed away unexpectedly only hours before the Foo Fighters’ scheduled appearance in Bogota, Colombia. Tributes came pouring in from all over the music world, and every major news outlet has reported on his passing. He was at the top of his game, playing arena concerts in one of the biggest rock bands on earth.
I’m so sad about this man.

Taylor Hawkins — the hard-hitting, charismatic drummer for Foo Fighters — has died at 50. In an interview with The Times last year, Hawkins was direct about his hopes for the band's future. "I want to be the biggest band in the world," he said. https://t.co/mbEAOSxyI0 pic.twitter.com/IhEM8AppbM

This is yet another reminder for us to pursue our goals and dreams and not procrastinate or waste time on things that distract us from our calling. Life is incredibly short. Artists are remembered not only for how they interacted with people, but by the body of work they left behind.
Great songs and great art live forever.
