Die With Your Boots On

I saw this Google ad next to a gmail message from my fantasy football league. It seemed out of place and quite odd in general. They’re either saying that the next pope will be John Paul II, or the next pope will be impersonating John Paul II. Either one sounds bizarre.

The first thought that came to mind when I saw it was an Iron Maiden song, Die With Your Boots On.

“Another prophet of disaster
Who says the ship is lost
Another prophet of disaster
Leaving you to count the cost
Taunting us with visions
Afflicting us with fear
Predicting war for millions
In the hope that one appears”

We’re all going to die. So why not die while living life?

Die with your boots on.
