“They’re attempting to trivialize the entire present to get away with karaoke however in the long run I believe you’ll see who has the worth and who doesn’t.

Which, in accordance with the company considering which riddles the music enterprise earns me the title of ‘troublesome to work with’ — a title of which I’m very proud.”
