That's good, cuz there are sometimes people who post who are so shocked they can't get over it, which is ridiculous. How can anyone expect someone to be the same 30 and 40 years later, especially with the health problems he's had which would excellerate aging in anyone.

I've spent some time on You Tube yesterday watching some of his most recent performances, and he/his voice seems in my opinion to be getting better and stronger than when I saw him 6 months ago. His range seems broader, and his voice stronger. The perfectionist that I suspect he is, I wouldn't doubt things would continue this direction. I sure wish I knew if he were writing--he's due for a new album!!!
