A man's man

I think anyone who reads this blog or just has a heart should check out this video. I dont give American Idol much credit, but I will say the fact that they let this man perform raises how much respect I give them by quite a bit.

Brief Backstory. This man's name is Sherman Pore. He was married to his wife for 20 years, during which time Sherman would call and seronade her every day. Sadly, his wife contracted cancer and was hospitalized. Sherman wanted to go on American Idol to perform for her, but the age limit is currently 28 on the show. They drew up a petition, but two days before the rehearsal, she passed on. He decided to do it anyway, and this is his two minutes forty four second's of fame. And It's by far the most touching video I've ever seen. If not for the performance, if not for the reaction, then for the last three second's of the video.
