“By far one of my favorite records that's gotten me through a lot of touring where you just kind of want to escape all the distortion and all the noise, etc when you're on the road for so long. Pet Sounds, '66. Inspiring. Brian Wilson taking the reins, he sent the rest of the Beach Boys out to tour... a lot of people appreciate this record and so do I, so 'Pet Sounds.'”Watch this moment
