arghton 6,697 Posted May 18, 2021 Veltto Virtanen, weird Finnish former two-time parliament member and rock personality is celebrating his 70th birthday today. He has some kidney disease, addison's disease, osteoarthritis and mycoplasma. ADHD and depression that was worsened by the death of his mother, whose caregiver he was for around a decade. Usually walks with a cane. Maybe a good pick for some pools soon. Also Malcolm X and Pol Pot would've been 96 on the 19th of May 2021. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
