Rok, you explained things better than I could have ever thought to explain them. Like you said, "You have to be born here to know the games that people play."Now that you've explained everything, we can go on to the next thing.

I wonder why the people who can talk music to death can not play music to death.I do one thing and I do it very well, I listen to music. I don’t need nobody to tell me the dramatic difference between "Bop" and "Swing"; the difference between Leste...
