I worship @ the temple that is: Brett Dennen. His music says what I'm unable to put into words to say. Every time I've seen him he gets better and better. And without a doubt, moves me to tears. Plus, he's got Elvis's hips! The man can move!!! The Avett Brothers are a close 2nd...."I want to be in love like movies"...
