Does he really (ride, that is)?

He looks wayyyy older than 50. The rock star lifestyle has aged him badly. He was stayin in our hotel when we were in Vegas, and he looked... well... like ass. (but then, he's earned it, I suppose).

Cold and snow has nothing to do with the amount of sunshine we get. It's not cloudy/rainy EVERYDAY here. Our summers are longer(and nicer).

I don't know where in MI you live but I do know that the metro-Detroit rarely has extended periods of time when its not gray/overcast/cloudy. Living there was more depressing than living in Washington state because at least in WA its lush and green while its gray and rainy!

And, Geoff Tate f'n rules! He's still an amazing singer, even if he isn't AS great as he was.

How should I know.. I equate cold & snow with grey (or white, as it were) misery.

I really wanted to see them when we were in Vegas (they played HoB while we were there) but we just couldn't squeeze it in.
