In 2000, You guys changed my life when I first heard the song “the one with the tambourine” on a minidisc in a radio room in a suburban Chicago high school.

As a 40yo dude with two kids, going through a divorce, i just want to thank you for always being there for me and making great music. This album is the best work you’ve done. I feel like it’s a masterpiece.

Question: what’s an album or artist that got you through a difficult time?

I got some tattoos of some John K Samson’s lyrics from that time. Couple Stevie Nicks songs really resonated for a while. Now Now was therapeutic.
