The duo recently spoke to USA Today, and when the subject of where they’d like to play their last show came up they skirted the question.
“I hope it’s not my funeral,” Young said, with Johnson adding, “Upstairs rather than down!”
Narrowing it down a little more, Young responded, “On Earth?” He noted, “It’s a tough, tough call.”
“I wouldn’t want to upset any of the fans by saying, ‘No, that’s the best place,’” Johnson said of where they’d say goodbye. “After a gig, when I say, ‘Hey, thank you so much’ (to the crowd), you mean it, you know?”
As for how they want to be remembered, Young said, “I would just say ‘a great rock band.'”
“They were great at what they did. And they did it consistently,” Johnson added of their legacy. “You never thought back in the day that, when I finish here … I’m going to be 79,” to which Young joked, “Can you count that high?”
“I can’t even (expletive) think of it,” Johnson said. “Saying it back then, I would have just laughed at you.”
