Bump. Interview with Mansbridge tonight. Note he is struggling with his memory which I think many suspected based on the dropped lyrics which were far more than usual.

When Mansbridge asks Downie if he’s fighting what’s in front of him, the singer – who has undergone surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation therapy to slow the cancer’s progression – says yes. “For sure. I can get more time,” Downie says. “More time if I try this, I can get more time.”

But he admits that he is resigned to the eventual outcome of his disease.

“I am resigned to the direction this is heading, yes. I am. I really am,” Downie says.

“Because I can see it, and feel it, doing some… not doing some good, but it’s… creating something. An opportunity, I guess, and they don’t come around too often.”
