His new verse on TMR is incredible to think about in the context of his illness. He says "like a Nexus 6 Coming Home to Roost "... I mean he is basically saying "I know that my time on this earth is nigh, I'm coming back to the studio just to stay alive." (that was an unintentional rhyme)

I'm assuming everybody here has seen Blare Runner? Obviously I'm not inside Yauch's head, but you you know, the Nexus 6's featured in the movie have the urge to return to Earth when their 4-year lifespan has been used up. Trying to find ways to stay alive.

I think I have said as much in other threads. I say it again here to illustrate YR's point. Just based off his Nexus 6 line alone, he put me right into his POV. I would also love to hear what else was going through his head at this time.
