That's interesting Kenny because I see you are assuming the old man died. I was about to ask Chris if that's what he meant, or if the old man was just dreaming about the old days and the music. You have to make the extra assumption that the fact that those two are both dead is the whole 'point' to interpret it that way.
Mind you, a bit of ambiguity in a song can make it a talking point among the fans when you are rich and famous so its not necessarily a bad thing to have two possible meanings.
