The bass is the instrument that is unnoticed, but no one can live without.
That is when you captured my heart.
I remember you said, wow, one day maybe you'll play in my band.
Your spirit is squeezed into those pages.
It's the origin story of me and you.
Oh, yes.
Thank you.
My parents.
I love that you remember that, yeah, they're without... You know, I always say that you and Courtney were my grunge parents and that my parents... I live in omnipresent shadows of my cool Montreal parents, both music journalists, culture journalists, activists, like everything good 70s, 60s counterculture raised me with the idea that...
The golden thread to a purpose in life is just to know what you, Melissa, loves, needs to do.
Never work for the man, never work for anybody else, but your vision of what the world needs.
And so they're the best role models.
My father died, as you know, like super long ago, but with him, I feel like the baton was further past that I really look up to my parents.
And they were the best role models for what I feel like the 21st century needs more of, which is unique individualism.
Yeah, okay.
Well, that's also what's interesting is because I grew up in the shadow of a larger-than-life person.
My father was a journalist turned politician, but also a man about town, ran out of... A bon vivant.
A bon vivant, boulevardier, smoking, drinking, intense lifestyle, not unlike the people of the rock bands that you and I were not.
But the people, other people in rock bands.
Yes, it is true, actually.
