"you're back. couldn't live without the album?"
"nope. my heart just closed in on itself as soon as my feet hit the outside pavement. my hand not clutching onto something so important as hoziers debut album."
"let me guess, you major in poetry?"
"close. i have a creative writing major."
"whatever, they're practically the same."
"just like all your shitty artists from the 70's are the same."
"take two random records and i'll prove you wrong."
"let's see - just like prince and michael jackson."
"are you for real? prince and michael jackson are in fact two extremely different artists. where prince produced many of his own content ánd played many of his instruments, michael had in fact very little to say in his music. he had all sorts of producers and managers that did those things for him."
"and yet michael was way more famous than prince."
"there were a lot of losers in that time. people like you, my friend."
"we're friends?"
"whatever, forget what i said. you still want your shitty album?"
"yes, my friend, i do want my shitty album."
