“A friend of mine also recounted this quote that he heard Mr. Kelly say at the listening party for the new chapters of Trapped in the Closet:
“People ask me, Kels, why do you keep on using the same backing track? Why don’t you change the backing track?”
“Breathe in. Just take a deep breath [BREATHES IN]. What is that? What is that? That’s air. That’s the air we’re all breathing. Just breathe that in. We need that to survive. That backing track is the air that those characters are breathing. Without it, they would die.”
