Pretty good! It's a good break for a slow news week lol but mike dosent really talk about the songs only about the people who appear on it and how they got on...But ya i still enjoyed it!
He did mention "Right Now" was inspired by a movie whose name I've already forgotten, but he explained how he was inspired.
the movie is "Short Cuts" filmed by Robert Altman. he mentioned it was one of his favorite movies. apparently about 20 people that don't know each other but their lives are related or something like that. IMDB link: http://imdb.com/title/tt0108122/
i've waited ages to hear mike talk about the lyrics on "red to black", and didn't mention them at all. but hearing what he said about the concept behind "the battle"; that really makes you think ...
I didn't have any problems with it, just followed the link and clicked "Play All" and listening to it right now. BTW I think it is great!
