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).

A few years ago when I got to see Dokken. That mother fucker was drinking and chain smoking on stage and could still wail like he did back in the day. He was 50 then, I think.

I didn't know ol' Tate rode either. Most of the rockers back in the day road crusiers. That's pretty sweet if he's riding a sport tourer!

That's too bad; he did have an amazing voice back in the day.

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.
