When I was recovering from major open heart surgery and a severe stroke. My daughter and I sang it in the hospital ward, while she hit a book with a pencil intimating Will Ferrell. Sometimes you just gotta laugh at death.I'd rather hit the end of the trail with a smile on my face and laughter, than slouched over with self pity. thank you gentlemen.It's amazing what music and laughter can do for the human soul.

I was B.O.C.'s sound man for the first 12 years of their endless touring journey and, indeed, Buck's Reaper demo features a cardboard box accompaniment. He does play drums,
by the way. I have a YouTube channel where I post many of the exclusive tracks I collected back in the day from our rehearsal process and tours.

I remember when my daughter was in her mid-teens when she wanted nothing to do with me or anything I liked, especially music. We were in the car together and this song came on the radio. I could literally see it grab her attention as she heard the lyrics and the music for the first time. It was a great example of the amazing power of music to bridge gaps between people. We could agree on at least one thing...'This is a REALLY good song!'

This song is pure genius. Just the opening riff would have made it an iconic song. But there are a dozen more parts of this song that are equally iconic. I honestly don't know how any mortal human being can create such a masterpiece. Buck, if you're reading this, you've brought joy to people the world over with this song. Thank you.

The solo after the key change is like a struggle or a fight with the reaper. Crying out in pain as Buck goes through a heart attack. Then calm again as his life is returned to normal and the bell keeps beating with the high hat tremors of a heart murmur. Beautiful to know the story behind the song. Than you Rick.

It's ironic that NBC does a skit about a song and then decades later won't allow three seconds of the skit to be shown in a video interview with the actual writer of the song. Too many damn lawyers.
