In the tradition of many of our great social commentators, Michael takes serious subject matter and gives it a fun twist and a joyous feel. The lyric asks the question, "How did they ever survive," which implies that they DID survive. Performing the song live in the video are: Michael on guitar and lead vocal, Bear Erickson on baritone guitar, Tompeet Frederiksen on drums, Bill Flores on lap steel guitar and Tyson Leonard on violin. "100 Years From Now" is from the Healing Waters CD, available at https://michaelonfire.bandcamp.com/album/healing-waters.
