Transcription

Jean is shredding like a mean motherfucker and it's 580 clock right here right now where it's fucking loud and he's shredding my eardrums and synapses and sinews and I fucking love it—not because I'm a masochist, but because I never want to hear a damned thing again I'll beat the doctor who gives my hearing back into the dirt and any miracle worker too I'm walking out of this barspot THANK YOU MIAMI and expect nothing but tinnitus ringing to distract me from daydreaming and nightdreaming around the clock about the sounds Jean seduced out of his guitar using his fucking beer for a pick no less I've got new voices in my head and they're fucking swell and swelling and shredding and crescendoing until my head blows a gasket and destroys everything in a 5-mile radius and then we're just getting started.
