Donick: What songs play in your head during your real life montages? For me “Popcorn” plays in my head when I do chores?
John: don't experience that but I usually think of my friends & what they might be doing as I hang laundry on the line. We don't own a clothes dryer
Donick: What question have you always wanted to be asked?
John: Q: How did you become so wonderful & glamorous.
A: hard work & good genes
