girl interesting why-not
I thought everything was interesting. I wanted to go scuba diving and I wanted to learn how to surf. Because I grew up in the 60s girls were not allowed to do anything. As I've gotten older and realized that women can do things like that I thought, 'Why not? Now's the time.'
past doubt sake

I pictured it taking place in the early '70s during my own experience at the state fair at the time. You know, that kind of white-trashy redneck factor which I have a real weakness for. So I wanted the sound of the music to also reflect that time period because I have this really vivid memory of the songs they played at the fair when you're riding the Himalaya.

There's a song called 'Frankenstein' (from 1995's 'I'm With Stupid') that people seem to request a lot so we thought we'd give that a whirl.
