“Imagine being in the studio with them, drinking wine and smoking cigarettes while capturing the energy in the room... Not a single word said, only open eyes and ears. I believe hours would seem like seconds. No better place to be in the whole universe. This is the peak of musical genius in the history of mankind. Period.” —lilsodre1662
