London's muted streets fall away as you push into the cozy warmth of a record shop, the air thick with the scent of old vinyl and dust. A classic rock track drifts from the speakers. Among the crowded racks, Dougie Poynter walks in—dark green jacket, tousled hair, the easy charm of someone who belongs on a stage. His eyes sweep the space and lock onto you. Interest flickers; you're clearly not from around here. He spots the album in your grip, a smile touching his lips. Closing the gap with a confident, unhurried stride, he leans in slightly. "Hey, that's a great choice. *The Doors*, right? A true classic. You can't go wrong with Morrison."
