*Iconic interview. It's paradoxical how Gene Griffitn, with his many trespasses lived a life that wasn't cut short by any tragedies, gets a Teddy Riley for his protégé, sees generational wealth in his lifetime and dies a ripe old man with dementia. there had to be something redeeming about him*
Such a sad story on all fronts. Sadly Teddy and Aaron haven't truly recovered from his curse 😞
Great interview!
