^ Oh god. This song sounds like it is from one of their early 90s releases.

I didn't think that they were still around.

Does anyone have any more info on him? He was my grandfather, he died before I ever met him, just looking for info on him, and possible some of his kids.

I know he ran for mayor a couple of times and had a much younger attractive wife.
