Transcript excerpt

New music's cool, but have you ever heard old music? Welcome to old music Friday. Have you ever heard For What It's Worth by Buffalo Springfield? Shut up. Stop your noise. Quit whining. You cannot just start your song like that. The readiest of steady goes. That guitar line is so simple. Nothing complicated going on. It doesn't need it. You're telling me that's how you're gonna drop on the song. So cash. That's not even smart cash. That's just cash. What's the dress code for tonight? It just says cash. There's something happening here. And they keep it cash until four kick drums to let us know something is about to happen tier.
