Okay, if you're not one who likes hearing why / when an artist creates, like the fact that Graham Nash wrote Our House for Joni Mitchell, or that Joni wrote Circle Game for Neil Young after he wrote Sugar Mountain, then you won't appreciate this CD. But if you'd love to learn that Robbins finds Diane Keaton sexy, draws inspiration from Terrance McKenna & Bagwan Rajneesh, and dreams of Naomi Watts driving the getaway Ferrari for his jailbreak, the engine revving like a velvet chainsaw, then you've got to put this at the top of your queue. The most captivating aspect of this CD is Robbins himself narrating. Like sitting across from him in a Seattle coffehouse, sharing a mocha latte with the smoke grey rain dripping outside, listening to him share stories of his life past. Wonder-full stuff!!
