He makes me feel like I don't appreciate music enough

You can feel his 52 years for struggle in that "why". You can feel it in every note he sings.

I remember going to a coaching clinic once at UCLA and a football coach from Bellevue, Wa where this guy is from put on film of the team let's just say they were from the suburbs. Nice field, well funded school. So the coach from Grant, an inner city school from California presents his film and come to find out the inner city/poorer kids played against Bellevue and boy did they put on a whoopin on those suburban kids.
