This was an even more fascinating story than I was expecting. Rucker has truly had a profoundly varied and entertaining life. You could tell he really started getting happier after he started his country career. I was very happy for him that he got to have that nice moment in his career. 

There is a lot of value to this because he narrated it himself. If feels like he is sitting down for an honest chat. He is honest about his faults and that his life is far from perfect. I like it is a nice life lesson to hold onto all of the moments you endure, even if they are not your proudest moments. As the title says, life is too short, so we should all make the best out of it if we can.
