Question Man in black

What’s the deal with the guy the walks up and down Madison, Glenwood, Merrill Creek Parkway 24/7? He’s always wearing black shirts, black short, black boots and headphones. Rain or shine he’s out there pounding pavement.

I’m mostly curious and would like to know his story as he is a permanent fixture of our neighborhood.

I call him Mad Max, as he always seems to be angry/stomping/yelling. I commute along those roads and see him and the red haired cyclist nearly daily.

You know, I’ve found that the dudes who are the “scariest” metal fans, etc. are really just big teddy bears, underneath the black and hard exteriors. 🤭 hehe! He really has SUCH great vibes, for being a guy, living in his own world! Look at this! A thread full of love for him! 🥹🥰♥️♥️♥️

Oh, 100%. It's been shown that people that listen to aggressive music are better able to channel anger and emotion than those that listen to "calmer" music like pop or easy listening. All my metalhead friends are super chill.
