When you were a kid did you hear a particular song, riding in a friend’s car or something, and it kind of made a connection, where you thought you might want to start making music?

JC: Yeah actually, my best friend kind of. His brother had a friend who got a bootleg of like – what was that B-side at the time… “Yellow Ledbetter?” It was…

Oh yeah Pearl Jam, I remember that.

JC: But he had like a tape, it sounded terrible at the time. You could barely make out… [imitates Eddie Vedder singing momentarily] …it was very muffled. But that song was the first time I like, felt weird… that music reached deeper. Not that I never really… I mean… I liked music. But [up to that point] it was never the main thing in my life. That was the first song where I felt weirdly moved by it.

Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah.
It's growing up just like me.

    He also said in the new Rolling Stone he'd like to produce a Pearl Jam song, because he's a fan. I would love to hear that. And while I'm asking for things, I'd like to see the Strokes open for PJ, like a reverse Tom Petty vs. Pearl Jam tour. I would also like some free money, please.

    Seeing the Strokes opening for PJ would be a dream come true. The Strokes are awesome! And free money would be great, also.
    PLAY THE SOUTH
