MrPortnoyJunior "But he is far too good, musically speaking, to cover Beatles songs"
I think I`m going to get that comment framed and hang it on my wall.
"far too good, musically speaking, to cover Beatles songs"
Just reiterate that sentence, that comment, that piece of wisdom people. Make it into a mantra.
TRY and comprehend it.
"far too good, musically speaking, to cover Beatles songs"
Mesmerising, mind-blowing, gobsmacking, in-fucking-credible.
