Awesome work! What a story arc my band went through. I was especially proud of my lead singer, Leopold Pop and Lock, who spent all their time in the hair salon instead of in the recording studio, took a lot of damage in concerts, but made it through in the end.
Hilarious writing.
I'm sure there's a more optimal strat, but this just feels right
Thanks for the kind words and achieving the pop star singularity!
