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, palanti.

I was a 1617 year old person.
I was working in a clothing store, and this guy said, hey, I'm playing at sir studios.
Do you want to come check me out?
And so I went.

They were honestly really good.

We're going to be together one day.
And I was like, what?
