“I started thinking about other music I listened to when I was little and a lot of it was my parents' taste, y'know, so I found Jim Croce. I had to find the one, though, that had 'Operator' because I remember my dad really liked that song and my dad has really, really good taste in music, or at least what I like and we had, not this particular album, again, but a lot of the same songs.”Watch this moment
