Bombino’s a super modest guy, very nice. His whole crew is a bunch of characters and he’s definitely the Grand Poobah. I don’t think the other guys are that much younger than him, but he definitely feels like the wise man; you just sort of get that sense when you’re around him. He doesn’t say that much but he’s humble and well-respected. Dan Auerbach Read Quote
