you know part of our part of that that we were involved in we believed in like as if rock the s what we feel is really the true essence of rock and roll

It's like, I describe it as like the movie Quest for Fire, you know, when they have to keep the fire burning in that little thing and they're going across the swamp and they don't want the Neanderthals to get it or whatever.
