Heavy Episode today. Feel like we're really getting into the thick of it philosophically, sexually, psychotically. Some big questions arose. What even is a guitar? What is it meant to do? Is legacy important if you aren't actually interested in playing music with your guitar? Do you need to use a guitar to make music, or can it purely be used as a technical machine for speed and magic tricks? Honestly, I felt like for a moment we cracked the codes to Zion. Enjoy.
