He wouldn't fit in our modern society now. He didn't drop any f-bombs.

if they were "laughing too hard" at looney toons cartoons, they were probably high as shit- which makes this story ok by me.

His singing is actually quite good but it's kinda ruined by the other guy, at least IMO

He's also a co-singer on Rhapsody of Fire's "The Magic of the Wizard's Dream". Which was made on his insistance from what I heard.

Years back, I visited my mum's and she was watching some insipid German "folk music" show as usual. Then all of a sudden Rhapsody & Lee.
