Sound systems are what turn cars into escape vehicles, even if you've got nowhere to go.

About This Quote

When you first start listening to music, it can be a little overwhelming. It's like the feeling of being at a party, you don't know anybody and everyone seems to know each other. It's hard to make friends but you do your best to mingle and make conversation. Eventually, as the night wears on, you come to realize that you don't care about anyone but yourself.

You're having fun, and there's nothing better than that. What happens when we’re alone? By itself, music pretty much sucks. That's why we need a sound system.
