Christopher Lee released metal albums and also fought in WWII as well as was a legend in films. I hope the man in the vid is doing well and enjoying his fame.

      EPIC dominion of spirit, mind and heart. He's virile in it's truest sense, real man fully alive in character and owning himself and his dreams. Look at that strength at 82, right down to an incredibly STRONG voice. My voice is as strong as it was at 20, always strong. Most people as age loose their voice strength. I hope I keep my voice to the end.
      REMARKABLY strong voice for his age. Strong voice is an expression of not apologizing for oneself, truly owning and accepting oneself, and shows a strong nervous system and overall vitality of the entire body. I bet he lives to at least 103. That man is HEALTHY in every way.
      Total inspiration. He sent a message to all to have no excuses and take life by the ...., always. Seriously, I'd guess his intent is not just for himself but to inspire others on the very principles he has lived for and developed. His intent is shining every one of those principles. That's what I get from him. BOLD. He sure inspired me to step up my game further. I'd love to know this man.
