He’s currently working on a way to play all those things at the same time, but he can’t seem to make it not look like he’s trying too hard.

A banjo player and champion banana gunman, he got to be on Taylor Swift's band after taking Amos hostage with a banana, as seen in this photograph. The whole banana affair is a rather slippery subject, and no one knows exactly how it all worked out.
