All my life I formed bands.
0:02
I've always put the band together.
0:05
And when I got to New York I didn't know
0:07
a lot I didn't know anyone to be honest,
0:11
to to jam even jam with, you know, and
0:14
now this is going back before the
0:15
internet. There was a paper called the
0:17
Village Voice a free New York City
0:18
paper. You would go into the classified
0:20
there and find, you know, musicians or
0:24
you know, someone's getting rid of a
0:25
bicycle whatever it may be it was the
0:26
classified ads in the back of the
0:29
And I started answering those ads
0:32
for bands looking for singers and every
0:36
they were they were crazy stories some
0:38
of these auditions I went on.
0:40
One guy in particular
0:42
wanted his band I jammed with the band
0:44
and he wanted me to learn The Who Oasis
0:47
and a few other British bands
0:50
and which human I love. But when I was
0:51
jamming those songs he said to me he
0:55
you're not singing with the British
0:57
accent." I go, "Yeah, cuz I don't have a
0:59
British accent." [laughter]
1:01
He's like, "Well, we we we need someone
1:03
with a British accent." I go, "Well, why
1:05
don't you put that in your ad cuz, you
1:07
know, I could go by last name is London
1:08
doesn't mean I have a British accent.
1:10
Like this is ridiculous."
