Doug and the album Terminal Avenue

Hello! For some time now I have wondered if Doug of Doug and the Slugs knew he was dying when he did the album Terminal City. So at the risk of looking square I thought I would ask.

Then I can wonder about other things like who told Eddie Murphy he could sing? Cheers!

PS my favorite song on that album is “Cover me with roses” and I also wonder how a person could do such a cool song while knowing their life won’t be as long as they hoped.
