Should have listened to my wise old aunt... she always said... for what's below, you can lose what's above.
This being a family show, below and above is left to your imagination.
Damn dirty shame (imho) what happened to the late Great Marty man... such talent. Kinda' reminds me of what became of Johnny Cash.. some other people as well.
No one deserves to be miserable or unfortunate...pray for peace, not revenge or selfish desires...
Think...Is it about going to Hell in a handbasket...or earning one's wings and a halo ? in life ??
