English term or phrase: ... something along the lines of sleeping...
Years before, John XXX and Leo WWW had sat together on the same stage, under the same lights, playing music that would shape decades of guitarists. I still remember what it felt like to occupy that same space. It was something along the lines of sleeping with a textbook under your pillow the night before the algebra test - ability through proximity.
