(If anyone was curious, Rhett wrote this song about indie film director Lynn Shelton.
He said he was having trouble figuring out what to write about and flipped to a random
page in a magazine. It happened to be her and he had seen her movie she made.
For the record, I think Rhett would like to clarify, for the sake of his marriage,
he has never met Lynn Shelton. Let me know I messed anything up.
Happy playing)
