And before we dive into my conversation with Pat, I want to give a quick crash course on this band, okay?
Train.
They form in San Francisco in 1993, and their first hit comes five years later, 1998.
It's a song called Meet Virginia.
Very good.
Oh, yeah.
Some great specific lyric writing.
Wears high heels while she exercises.
If that doesn't give you 90s nostalgia, I don't know what will.
It's good.
That's why Gen Z yearns for the 90s, honestly, is everything contained in this song.
But it was drops of Jupiter that really put this band on the map when it came out in 2001.
It's a timeless classic.
If I could play piano just like that and have strings support me...
I'd be set for life.
That pianist is none other than Chuck Lavelle, who's played with everyone from John Mayer to the Rolling Stones.
We'll get into that a little later in the show.
But yeah, this song was massive.
It went diamond certified.
But things weren't all Milky Ways and shooting stars after the song for Train.
