Everyone of us has an appointment with the Big D - got it? You and me being alive is more than brain exercise, dude. Pretty soon we gonna be knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door, ya know? And who's to say they gotta let us in? If we don't love our neighbors as ourselves, good chance that door be locked, know what I'm sayin"?
