Heartland

In my opinion, from the stuff I’ve seen from this tour, he sounds clearer and better than he has in 20+ years.

Perhaps it’s the lack of chug (I miss it) drowning him out but I don’t think so.

All I can think of is that he’s really cut down on/maybe even stopped with the deathsticks.

Anyone else?

I've thought about that one too, but then I saw the obligatory fag on some recent festival gig.

Still, vaping may be the way now. Those recent health scares may have forced the old curmudgeon to adapt with the times.

If so, he's by now noticed an uptick in lung capacity and stamina. Yet, I doubt nicotine itself has gone away.
