Brian May praises John

I have a friend, John Frusciante, who’s one of the greatest guys in the world, but what John does is play music. That’s what he thinks about all the time, that’s what he does best, that’s what he likes to do best. He doesn’t know anything about accounting. He doesn’t send his…
