94 - Death Wish. Joshua Tree National Park.

<div>People put a big emphasis on living - how we spend our precious time before we face the music. But unfortunately, part of living – is dying, and that takes some thought too. Confronting our own mortality is difficult and unsettling but to the living left behind, knowing your final wishes can be a welcome sigh of relief. Today we venture into Joshua Tree National Park, and discuss the wild ride that was Gram Parson’s life, and untimely death. <br> <br> We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.
