The sight of Mike Pence having to run to the basement with Secret Service (the nuclear codes handcuffed to his wrists...the footage of this is public) because a grown man could not accept that the American people did NOT want him for a 2nd-term...THAT was scary. And it would be nice for Trump and the MAGA-cult to stop making excuses and actually admit that they tried to overthrow our government. People SHOULD admit their wrongs.

Wolfgang's music is so mediocre (I've heard a TON of songs and I STILL could not hum one of them back to you if I had a gun to my head...THAT is how unmemorable they are). This guy has been at his solo career for almost four years. His 1st album went to #12 (and a lot of that was sympathy because he just happened to release his album in the months after his dad died)...then his 2nd album peaked at #29!! And here he is, STILL opening for bands...freaking opening for Creed!! Just embarrassing. If his last name were not Van Halen, he and his music would not even be talked about. He wouldn't be even getting bad reviews. He would be getting COMPLETELY IGNORED.

      Some ppl are just big though. He has been heavy since he was like 13.
      I have a born vegetarian son, his body doesn't process animal proteins right, he is still 6' 3" 300 pounds. He doesn't eat unhealthy really...ok honestly outside of the a&w root bear a day and garlic bread. But otherwise it's all good stuff. He just is heavy, like my grandpa and 3 uncles. Their bodies just seem to turn everything to to fat stores. All were/are physically active.
      You know there is about no way for him to consume enough calories, fat and carbs and not burn them off on stage. His momma has a weight issue too. I would rather see him heavy than start taking drugs or limiting his healthy eating just to slim down.
      As long as his doctors are not worried then i think he is perfect and evidently so does his wife.

Those figures are now months old so it’s sold more since then. Now if we could count the cheater downloads for free because hey it’s too easy to not spend 20 bucks on a cd and support an artist these days, judging by the full venues he’s playing at he’s doing ok. Getting on those charts isn’t tanking. The days of hard rock selling millions the first week have been over industry wide for 20 years. They all tour to keep alive today. Peace out.
