Danny Gokey's dead wife is a sickening prop

Listen, the guy can sing, but Danny Gokey is really disgusting. Every interview he does he constantly mentions his late wife. What is the subtext of his singing "Hero"? He is a hero for having lived through his wife dying? For soldiering on and making a ton of dough because of his wife dying? Genuine people don't bring up their pain around strangers---that's because it's fucking painful. And if you do it over and over again on national television, it's just a sick prop.
