And all of, you know, Joan is incredible, powerful female icon.
Poison was really great.
They've like evolved with the times.
And he was walking around backstage for two days just thanking every person he passed.
He was so nice.
He was taking selfies with the crew during set change.
He kind of had to be ushered out of the way so that we could get the work done.
