I recently talked to a woman whose name I have heard hundreds of times at the

grocery store karaoke bars in my car but before the world knew her name, she was just a typical teenager in the

late 1970s living it up in Los Angeles. It was a pretty carefree life in

those days. We would just, you know, go to someone's house and

rock out the cars, the pretenders, Plondie. Oh yeah. All those songs that you would just air

guitar in your bedroom.

I was a 16-17-year-old person.

I was working in a clothing store and this guy said'm playing at SIR Studios.

Do you want to come check me out?

And so I went, I brought some friends.

They were honestly really good.

And then he asked to take me to lunch and he told me I am absolutely madly in love with you.

We're going to be together one day and I was like, what? Are you kidding me?

You're many, many years older than me and I'm just not available.

He ended up really pursuing me. I didn't go with him for that first year when he was kind of being my groupie.

That's why he's writing these songs.

Every club, the Starwood, the Troubador, the Whiskey,

three shows at night,

sold out.

Cut two, I'm driving back to my work

and I'm just like, did I just hear a song

with my name in it on the radio.
