Nobody is a 'bad guy' for voicing their opinions. We all have our own level of what we deem to be a voice that struggles with certain songs and a voice that has changed but still captures us with the nuances and yes age that a voice will have with age and bad choices for over 50 years.
Do I wish he had the voice of 40, 30, 20, 10 years ago.. Yes I do.
I'd give anything for that.
But he doesn't have that voice and over the course of 2 hours and 28 songs if there's a few that cause me (and I am sure Gord himself) some discomfort to listen to they are well worth the emotion and lived in sensibilities that the voice of today brings to the other songs in the setlist.
