The reason Winky D wore an Apollo 11 suit is deeper than most people can comprehend.
On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong landed Apollo 11 on the Moon.
What matters most, however, are Armstrong’s first words on the radio after he touched down. He said:
Neil Armstrong
“The eagle has landed.”
This quote is now widely used to acknowledge the presence of a great individual.
On the second day on the Moon, Armstrong delivered his next famous words said:
“One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
We connect Winky D to Neil Armstrong through those first two sentences from the Moon.
Winky D’s message resonates deeply because I believe he is passing on the torch.
It is not a resignation rather, it is:
“The eagle has landed,” and “that’s another leap for mankind.”
That leap is reflected in his music, a genre shift moving forward toward even better artists and music that will come after him.
He made the first steps and created the blueprint so now the music industry can make its leap too.
