How come I know so much
about prehistoric rock and roll.
And I explain that it's because my parents
turned me on to it when I was like zero years old.
I mean, my dad used to play
his Beach Boys records for me
when I was still swimming around in the womb,
for chrissake.
And after I was born,
instead of singing me "Rock-a-Bye Baby"
my mom used to sing "Baby, I Love You,"
this awesome old song by the Ronettes.
My parents didn't read to me
from Mother Goose.
They turned me on
to the Mothers of Invention.
I grew up knowing more
about Dr. John the Night Tripper,
than I did about Dr. Seuss.
"I didn't bother collecting bugs . . ." I tell her.
". . . I had the Beatles!"
