“Years ago I was in a band called Two Lane Blacktop - we deliberately named ourselves after the 'Two-Lane Blacktop' movie, 'cuz it's a car chase movie. All our songs were based on movies, every single song. I love movies, and that was something that me and the singer in Two Lane Blacktop bonded over - we were design students together, we did a film-class together, so we became obsessed with movies. It's followed me around ever since then, it's a constant theme.” YearsTwoTogetherFilmSongClassCarDesignStudentsBandYears AgoConstantSingersObsessedThemeLanesCuzMovie Love Author:Ladyhawke
