Heavy Metal Philosophy

I finally got my copy of the 20th Anniversary Vinyl Edition of Opeth's BlackWater Park. I reflect on how that album changed my life forever, and how I had no choice in the matter. Then I tell two stories about two very different men with similar circumstances, but vastly different reputations. Then I show how their respective reputations effected how lucky they became.
