The Power of Words

“And as we drive up, I see this Camaro out in the middle of this field, just cutting doughnuts and spinning around as fast as it could. I said, ‘God, what’s going on out there?’ The driver said, ‘Guess who’s driving that car?’ I had no idea. ‘Bee Spears, maybe?’ He said, ‘No, that’s Stevie Wonder.’”
