Saw Wilko Johnson perform in Narberth Queens Hall last July 2012. It's down in Wales for those that do not know. Really had doubts about going but he played a fantastic concert and though I'll never see another one this will hopefully remain in my brain for a long time to come. Lost my own Mum to cancer in March 2012 so I really do hate this horrible disease

This is so hard to watch but you learn a lot about life from it. To be free of any worries about the future, to know what is going to happen and to be given time to end things in a way you want to is in a way a good thing. Total respect for Wilko, God bless him.

Who could not like Wilko Johnson , Seems to me if i acchieved even half the things he has in his life then i would still be a happy man. The days of Dr Feelgood , Wilko and Lee Brilleaux were truly iconic times and the start of something that really kick started Punk music in my eyes! I hope he stays well for as long as possible,such a nice guy!!

1. in the moment - enjoying the moment. In the west we seem to always look to the future but in the east they enjoy the moment. 2. Many years ago my mother was dying of cancer and we always enjoyed the moment as we knew she was on limited time. Later, and now years later I still look to the future. Wilco is right is stating we should enjoy the moment.

Listening to him reminds me of the end of American Beauty when the character says he felt nothing but 'gratitude for every moment in his stupid little life'. While we're alive we categorise everything into good experiences and bad experiences. On your deathbed as you breath your last breath it must all seem so inconsequential. Even the bad has value for shaping our views and making us who we are.
