Where'd you go?
Went to – just don't play that fancy music again when I say where I'm going.
Actually, I don't think you've ever heard of it.
It's a really, really tiny art school in Vermont called Bennington College.
That still sounds... Bennington.
But literally, we're talking about like 550 kids.
It's a seven-sister school, right?
It's in Bennington, Vermont.
Wow.
It's really small.
How can you... You can't get any further away from Sherman Oaks than Vermont.
That's what I was about to say.
How did you find it?
Look, my grades were not great.
The only thing I was really interested in was writing.
And I wasn't interested in anything else.
And I was writing from a really early age.
So I moved through school kind of bored.
All I wanted to do was write and play music.
I was in bands.
