a: Human brain ~
b: a general in a bunker

What: "The human brain is like a general in a bunker. Floating in its bubble of cerebrospinal fluid, it has no direct window to the outside world, so the only way for the brain to observe, comprehend, and order the body into action is to rely on information it receives. This information comes to it through a sophisticated system of sensory neurons that connect the brain to organs like the eye, ear, nose, and mouth."

b: narrow hallway full of pimps and hookers

What:

'But the kicker, and the catch there is it's very hard to find good companies and good people in the music industry!

It's really kinda true! It can be very sneaky and sleazy...'
