Glad to see my favorite artist Larussell. He is definitely one of the greatest artist of this generation. This interviewer was asking some weird questions. Even Larussell even looked confused by some of his questions 😆

He's so right about the generational trauma that's passed down and the dearth of coping mechanisms available to deal with it. Under the right circumstances, being closer to nature and taking care of our health goes a long way getting us on track.
