You guys like Nirvana, right?
Yeah, but the unplugged one, we'd say.
Oh Lord, help me now, he'd say.
He'd pop a dozen CDs into the player.
They Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, At the Drive-In, other stuff.
And we'd listen to half a song from each one and go, nope, nope, nope.
I had wanted to learn more about him from his music.
I was pretty sure his lyrics would tell me more about him than he would.
But the problem was I couldn't understand most of the lyrics, and none of his CDs, which he'd bootlegged, had liner notes.
We asked him if he didn't miss having liner notes, and he said, Man, liner notes.
You guys have this unnatural relationship with your liner notes.
What are some of your favorite lyrics?
Can you say some of the lyrics from the Pixies?
So what does that mean to you?
When Owen was little, I discovered I could get him to do anything by timing him.
Go get your jacket, I'd say, or clean up your toys, quick, I'll time you.
He loved competing with himself and beating his old records, even if I just made up times.
And it evolved into a huge, competitive, sports-loving thing that I still don't really understand or enjoy.
That timing thing didn't work at all with Georgia.
She'd just look up at me and say, what do you mean, time me?
