Bro, I turn 25 in December, and Randomly came across Sonny in 6th grade when surfing YouTube. Blessed to have seen the man live 3 times. The first show being one my dad took me to when I was 15. Life certainly has thrown us some curve balls as well (a divorce, opiate/ benzo addiction) but life will always turn around if you choose to make it happen. So thankful for having these bits of serotonin blasts from the past in content like this. Stay up brother!!
