Who wouldn't like to live a longer life, doing something that everyone on this earth still with a voice box can do (I actually know one who mimes his recorded songs now that he's lost his voice box!), and reap the numerous benefits that come from letting your emotions flow? Pick songs you love and let the world know your taste (or lack of taste) in music. It's such a rush and the crowds will clap and cheer and you'll feel like a million dollars, all for the price of a beverage!
