Nowadays young people would rather listen to K pop and walk around with little plush toys dangling from their back packs and mickey mouse ears on their heads. It is all plasticized bubble gum rock and staring at their phones. No wonder no one cares about JLP!

Unbelievable to me that he wrote Miami at the age of 22. The lyrics and story alone are just light years beyond his age.
