And I don't know why or how, but it just, it would like she, it is this romanticization and glamoring what we all have to do every day, this real life that you're describing. Um, and not belittling those things or aspiring for more, but finding out how do I love those things that I have to do anyways. And I think that that is a really, really, um, beautiful thing.

Another two little like interesting things I wanted to bring up. One, I had the conversation with my friend. I thought it was so interesting where we were talking about vinyl, like how people purchase vinyl. And she was talking about how every single person I know has like multiple vinyls that they've never listened to. And how the reason we buy vinyl is not to physically consume music. It is art.

Because vinyl became this thing I want to put on my shelf. I have a little... you know, section of my house that shows off my vinyls. I have a collection, whatever. And starting to think about album covers, not as what does a cover of an album look like, but what is this home decor? What is it going to look like in somebody's house?

They haven't figured that out. Yeah. I mean, it's interesting was like movie found out how to monetize physical merchandise through like action figures and costumes. And you know what I mean? Like you walk into a Target and it's movies. The kids section of a Target is movies, which is interesting because I think music also should have figured that out. You know what I mean?
