That is some serious plastic surgery and other work old Smokey has had done on that 69 year old face. I still love him anyway.

Oh! I am so distraught! I didn't know he was still touring. I haven't paid attention. His voice is part of my life experience and I would have loved to have heard it in person. Now I am crying "The Tears Of A Clown." (Why write something derogatory about someone who is 69 and is still working and giving to society? Maybe he's had cosmetic surgery. Who cares? It's nice that you say that you love him anyway.)
