Writing love letters composed entirely of Guitar Wolf lyrics.
“I love you, OK. You are the only person in this world. I dedicate all of my love. Sugar Speed is what I’ll be flyin’, straight toward the heart of the Miracle Girl. She’s under me now, that happening girl. Love love love love baby. Love love LOVEROCK.”
