The Michael Berry Show

0:02.0

It was on this day in 1991. What's weird about it? On this day in 1991,

0:31.8

is there two ways I look at things. One is how long ago was something. So that's 32

0:44.4

years ago. 32 years sounds like a long time. He hadn't been to his hometown in 32

0:53.0

years. Oh man, that's a lifetime. That's the easiest level stuff, right? 32

0:58.7

years ago. Wow, that's a long time ago. But the other way I look at things is as a kid because

1:11.2

my mom has told me over the years. You know, I don't see myself as 78. I still see myself

1:18.0

as 35. When I say my mom is 78 and my dad's 83, it sounds so old, but I don't think of them

1:25.4

as that old. If I see 83-year-old man dies, I go, well, that's sad, but he lived a full

life. But my dad says 83. That's what he is. That's what we do. So 32 years ago sounds

Where they would invite fans to attend the shoot for their first videos, smells like teen spirit.

2:08.0

Hundreds of fans show up at the shoot, which would take place two days later. Many would be turned away.

2:15.3

I'm going to go ahead and say it. I don't dislike Nirvana, but I don't get all the hoopla.

2:24.5

I mean, I kind of like this song, but it makes me want to take a Xanax and made because I just

2:37.2

imagined Kurt Cobain, you know, the long hair and the shaking ahead. I'm not a person that goes

2:44.8

to concerts to shake my head and the hair is going to give me a headache to hold for that. I was

2:50.8

too old for that at 16. I've never been that. I've never been, I don't get that. You might hit

2:59.2

some. You go banging your head, something like getting away and you hit it. Yeah, headache.
