[@Chosen_One]

I agree that he has every right to sing this song, but... Heavy Metal began in the late 60s when this man was already in his late 30s. Contemporary Gothic culture began in the late 70s when he was in his 40s. I'll admit, I couldn't find anything on poetry rock, and I'm not even sure what it is, but I would be willing to bet that it also began around that same time based on some Google searches. He was born in 1934. His generation did not invent anything Metal. If anything, they brought us swing and doo-wop.

He's 82 years-old(at the time) and is a retired aerospace engineer who oversaw work on an instrument that repaired the Hubble, he without a doubt has more money than the prize for winning AGT. He was just there to have fun melting everyone's faces with his epic voice 🤘

[@TraciDoering-hw8hu]

EPIC dominion of spirit, mind and heart. He's virile in it's truest sense, real man fully alive in character and owning himself and his dreams. Look at that strength at 82, right down to an incredibly STRONG voice. My voice is as strong as it was at 20, always strong. Most people as age loose their voice strength. I hope I keep my voice to the end. REMARKABLY strong voice for his age. Strong voice is an expression of not apologizing for oneself, truly owning and accepting oneself, and shows a strong nervous system and overall vitality of the entire body. I bet he lives to at least 103. That man is HEALTHY in every way. Total inspiration. He sent a message to all to have no excuses and take life by the ...., always. Seriously, I'd guess his intent is not just for himself but to inspire others on the very principles he has lived for and developed. His intent is shining every one of those principles. That's what I get from him. BOLD. He sure inspired me to step up my game further. I'd love to know this man.
