    I don't. Know what it is,but from the moment these here letters came out i was hooked,maybe its an era thing,but i think its grosso's attitude,the dude is a tru o.g.a 80's vert viking,and i remember being a dumb teen who almost shaved my brows after the powell movie,...almost.but when these things come out ev week im watchin,tappin the screen saying to myself damn these thing's r 2 short,hoping for a long one!but i think its because Jeff was a screw up just like so many of us were,and was able to straighten his shit out,and he brought an extra 40 lbs around his wast!and he still jams!hope the letters don't stop!they hold weight in my book!!
