Claire: And this is Claire. Good morning. Joy: How is everybody doing? Wherever you are, we are here with you. Claire: That sounds like the beginning of a Backstreet Boys song.  Joy: [laughing] You know they came to concert here a couple weeks ago?  Claire: What? Joy: Yeah. I’m kind of kicking myself that I didn’t go. Claire: Joy! Joy: Well it was at Green… whatever it’s called? Claire: Fiddler’s Green.  Joy: Yeah, Fiddler’s Green. And I was like, I don’t want to travel down there. You guys, this is where snobbiness kicks in, and I’m like, “I don’t want to drive that far.”  Claire: It’s less than an hour. Not far. Joy: It’s not that far. But it’s also just a part of town where I’m like, so exhausting. Claire: It’s hard to get to. Joy: Because I live close to most of the popular – Claire: Yeah, you live a cheap Uber ride away from most of the other venues. Joy: Yeah. Claire: When I was in early high school, I was really into pop punk.  Joy: Like Fallout Boy? Claire: Not even Fallout Boy. I would consider that to be pop emo. Like Green Day.  Joy: Okay.  Claire: Randomly, I have seen Green Day in concert more than anyone else. Joy: Okay, next time they come, will you go with me? They are my favorite. To this day, the best concert I’ve ever seen. Claire: Honestly, I could take or leave their music just if I’m driving, but they do have such good concerts. Joy: Oh, the concerts, yeah.  Claire: I’m not going to just turn on Green Day while I’m drinking my coffee. Joy: No, definitely not. But I appreciate their music so much, just because they’re Green Day. I get very attached to bands and their relationships to each other and because they’ve known each other since they were like ten years old. I always get into the stories of that. Claire: I’ll totally go with you. I remember seeing them at Red Rocks. I was 14. This would have been 2002 or 2003.
