Common rumor legend says a really famous dude lives above the shop. I’ve never seen him. I wouldn’t recognize him if he sat next to me, though, so who knows.

I don’t know anyone here tonight, but I could know everybody. We are part of the whole. We all build the puzzle together. Everybody is working from a different box lid, but as we piece things together something remarkable is emerging.

Nashville, how did you get to be so cool?
