Summary

This week, Rob puts his pretensions about country music aside with a closer look at Tim McGraw’s simple but moving song, “Live Like You Were Dying,” that encourages even the most sarcastic of 20-something-year-olds to romanticize their life. He talks about his late father-in-law who shared the same zest for life as the song’s narrator, and he encourages all his listeners to go sky diving, rocky mountain climbing, and to share a song they love with someone they love. Host: Rob Harvilla Producers: Olivia Crerie, Chris Sutton, and Justin Sayles Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
