Yep, Yours is the POST OF THE THREAD.
Men who have heart trouble are often criers, or following heart surgery. A cardiac surgeon told me decades ago that was quite common after bypasses, for example.
Certainly age has its sentimental effects on a man, and as you eluded they are often on medications that may well have their own side effects.
Beck is likely on plenty of meds, miss marmelstein, and is admittedly bipolar and severely ADD. He said as much on his own program, back when he was on FOX, I believe was how long ago I heard him say so.
Yes, Beck’s basically crazy.
My grandfather cried in old age (82). He enlisted in WWI as a 15 year old, was put behind lines when his commander suspected his faked age and made him peel potatoes! He was a professional boxer, numbers runner, bar owner and finally an electrician for the Port Authority of NYC. Quite a life but he must have had regrets in old age - as well as facing mortality - and that made him sentimental. But before his 80s, I never saw him shed a tear.
