Mythos is imagination and inspiration and the capacity to kind of recreate things.
And that's what we have to be doing now.

I knew it even so throughout the teenage years, I would do strange things like we would hang out in the local tavern.
And that's how we grew up and everything.

I would just start to spell poetry.
I mean, spontaneous words would come out.
