It's hysterical that Mitch's two most hated songs and CJ's favorite two songs are the same two songs -- and they both voted to bring Santana to Newbury St <laughing emoji>

That's what makes our dynamic so interesting (we hope). Credit to Ken for pitching something that we both liked, albeit for different reasons

Thanks for this. Such a great choice.

It's always a pleasure listening to this all the way through with headphones on (as I just did again). Not a weak spot. A real 5 star album.

Santana always gets cooed over for his recognizable guitar style. But these early albums, where it's Santana the bandleader, are the best. His first three albums are peerless.

I'm pretty sure this is the villain origin story behind the "Parka and shorts" fashion phenomenon.

Gym shorts and L.L. Bean hunting boots is what I wear to shovel snow. I don't know why. It's just always been that way

It’s really the only way, isn’t it?

I have to admit I went to Dunks this morning in a coat, sweat pants, and flip flops. Drive thru of course, but you get what I’m saying
