Old buddy Robert Hunt, long time musician, told me he woke up at 2 in the morning a few days after the Alex Pretti shooting with the line “shot him 8 times” repeating in his head.
“Yeah, I know they shot him 10 times, but that was the line I was getting, so I spotted ’em 2.”
4 days later he came out of the studio with this angry, gripping piece.
