“One last thing, as this seems somehow connected to the story – as I was walking up the hill to Rick Rubin’s studio that morning, I saw a handsome man, dressed in black trousers and a red shirt with the sleeves rolled up, leaning against the hood of a big American car, smoking a cigarette.

Joe nodded and smiled and sucked on his cigarette. Then he gave a little slow-motion wave as I went inside.”
