I think it's both there. I think if you just... you know, I think plenty of folks, if you just looked at the outside, it can read, you know, it's pretty alpha male, you know, which is a little ironic because, you know, that was personally never exactly really me. I think I created my particular stage persona out of out of my dad's life and perhaps I even built it to suit him to some degree.

It was all of these things.
