Just like art. Just like music. Like we were talking about. Like do you like it or not? Right. Music to you might be the greatest song of all time. To Jamie he's like, eh, I could take it or leave it. Yeah, yeah. And then you can have an argument about it which is really sweet. But no one's ever right. The bottom line about that stuff is if you love Motley Crue, you love Motley Crue. It's not, it's not that there's anything wrong with Motley Crue. I'm glad he used that example. But if you, if you're fucking at home by yourself going, Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls. If you're loving it, that's art. Like why was some judge here? I do that with White Snake all the fucking time man. I've told this story before but a dude sent me in a White Snake cassette. And I used to, it's in the office because I had a girlfriend that made me throw it away after I got in a car accident. I had a White Snake cassette in my car. Oh, what? Why did she make you, because she thought it was bad juju? She's really gonna tell me what to do. She was older than me. And she, she's, I was packing up all my stuff because my car was broken, you know, I got, I got T-boned. And as I'm grabbing all my stuff, she's like, leave that. I go, leave what? She's like, leave the White Snake. Like you got to get over that music. And I was like, really? She's like, yeah, it's terrible music. She was in like the Pixies, that kind of shit. I don't even know if the Pixies existed back then. I loved them too, but I also loved White Snake. There's a thing that people do though, where they only like things that make them appear smart or interesting. And there's like, it's like a hustle. Like you, you tell people you're really an Indian food and you, you might really be, but there's also a thing you're doing. Like you're, you're that person that's only into the cool stuff. But like, that fucking White Snake song is badass. That here I go again. Yeah, that's, it's awesome. They only had a few that were like really good. That song is fucking banging to this day. Is this love? That's a sexy video. That was good. The video is like one of my favorite videos. It's like the coolest, even though it was 80s and it was like hyper 80s. It's one of the few videos to me in my mind that is, that had a style that was, that kind of approaches timeless. Really? Yeah, in a way. It's the sincerity of it. I mean, that video is sexy with Tani Kattane and, and, and like her moving like around the bed or whatever. It was classy. It was, it was like sexy. It was very adult kind of like, really. Let's watch it. Shit. I have it, but she looks amazing. And, and I love him just leaning on the wall. Like, I mean, it's like, come on. It's a brick wall. He's like, Mr. Cool guy. It's done in such a sincere way, but it's just on the right side of me still thinking that it's fucking great. It's great art direction. It's promoting ridiculous interactions. Yeah. Promoting a ridiculous relationship. Just fucking talk. What is all this trauma? I mean, that shit, look at those shots. Come on. His hair, it's amazing. His hair is wonderful. I mean, he's very serious about what he's singing. He's like a better looking Luke from General Hospital. Remember Luke and Laura? Yeah. That's what that guy is. It's like a better looking Luke. That's so hilarious. His hair is preposterous. I know. Everybody's hair is just like off the charts. I mean, imagine if you had a friend that just had hair like that, like, Hey, let's go. Let's go hit the gym. He's like, Hey man, you want to go? He's got like a gallon of hair spray in that shit. I mean, primped out. That's just, I mean, back then, that's, that's, that's great. You know what it is? That's white hair, bro. Yeah. You have the solution to that. Yeah. Yeah. Your hair, you just, it's fantastic. You don't have to do anything. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's a totally lazy. It's chaos. It's lazy. Yeah. It's chaos, but at the same time, like, ah, you know, right. But there's no work involved in that chaos. It's a beautiful chaos. Oh, I see. You know what I'm saying? As opposed to like, you know, you've got one of them picks and you're spraying picks and sprinkles. Oh yeah. Get his hair that big. Oh, I know. There's a lot of work involved there. That's a shit ton of hair spray. There's a lady offset. It's just to keep, yeah. Kind of constantly checking symmetry. I mean, the, the guitar, the band, the like white snake, the band. What some, it was like, it was the super group of hard rock. Like, like it, or metal, I guess you can kind of, it kind of bleeds into that like classic metal. There's been a few of those super groups. I just want to freak me out, man. I'm like, get off the car. What are you doing to the car lady? It's like, she doesn't, she just doesn't care. She's rude. She's doing cartwheels on the car. She's wild. Look how sincerely is that. That's what I mean, man. He's really serious about what he's singing about. Yeah, look. And he's got three synth players in a row, by the way. Yeah. Look at that. Yeah. How, what is that? I mean, that's kind of hardcore. I wish we could play this because it's so wonderful. I do love the idea. I mean, the hair color combination in the car. I mean. Yeah.
