Don't know how the recent negative publicity will affect his decision. I think the quote reflects on his desire to perform but the toll of being on the road. |

Location: Las Cruces, NM | I think Glen is just expressing what many of us retired people feel. We work for years to pay for a comfortable house and sometimes we just want to veg out and enjoy it "and let the rest of the world go by".
When do you reach the point where you are confident that you have done OK and you don't need to hear people clapping to prove it? |
