This op must be high, Mod so u guys don't verify post before pushing them to front page. Op was using he instead of she when referring to his last wife as well as stating that he released his hit songs in 2007 and 2010 respectively. I'm supremely confident that the mod who moved this topic has taken more substance than the op. Say no to drug abuse or alcohol abuse.
