Brian Green

So it was just dumb.

Love Rock the entire morning on the two hour drive to school and the two hour drive back because we lived so fucking far away from our school.

And that song played six times an hour at one point.

Heavy rotation.

Now I'm recalling a time being at a pool as a kid, like a neighborhood pool.

And that song coming on and like my mom, like, oh, Brian.

My mom knew I was like pool party.

Well, yeah, exactly.

When you get your friends together at 13, what you want is boy meets girl.

The smash 1989 sensation.

Meanwhile, Doug next door was listening to Metallica and Guns N' Roses.

My mom knew I was kind of musically... I wouldn't call it inclined.

Let's not go that far.

But musically interested.

You know what I'm saying?

So she was...

So she would pump in all this stuff she thought would be good for me to know.

Meanwhile, my dad had an excellent taste in music.

He was listening to The Doors and Beethoven's Ninth and all of this great music, like this wide variety of music.

But I spent less time with him in the car listening to music.
