GlennFrancoSimmons says:

As I watched CripsandBloods: Made In America , the lyrics of several Pink Floyd songs came to mind.
One was On The Turning Away .
It is the brilliance of an artist whose work leaves an expanse through which each experiential prism is individual.
If you watch the film, you may experience mine.
Then again, you may not.
Such is the beauty of artistry.
