The Problem with Goodbye

 I don't say goodbye.

I don't like to say goodbye.

I know that we'll always come back.

If you come back, we'll come back.

Will you come back?

If you'll come back, we'll come back,

so then I won't have to say goodbye.

Eight days ago, when Foo Fighters' frontman Dave Grohl spoke those words as part of his introduction of the band's final song of the night, which was "Everlong", he had no way of knowing that he, his bandmates, and Foo Fighters' fans both in the arena and around the world were saying goodbye.  Not to one another but, sadly, to drummer Taylor Hawkins.  

Taylor Hawkins died on Friday.  He was fifty years young.  He is survived by his wife Alison and the couple's three children.
