you mean when he was quoted saying "If you're not in it to be bigger than the Beatles, it's just a hobby."?

And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love, you make.

No band will ever be as huge as the Beatles, period.
This is awesome Andie!!!! Something very poetic about how large they look with that huge blue sky!!

hilaryscullane says:

It's kinda a shame that their there. Only because they could be so much more appreciated if they were somewhere else like a park, cityscape, etc. were they could be easily visable and appreciated. Instead there at his studio down the end of a street among a whole bunch of warehouse's hard to find. I live in Houston and had heard of them but didnt see them until I attended the "Inner Art Corridor." He also has the president's heads lining the parking lot that are really interesting.
