5 PEOPLE I’D MOST LIKE TO HAVE DINNER WITH: Paul McCartney, Robert DeNiro, Bob Dylan, Jack White, Sofia Vergara (I’m single)
MY FAVORITE CONCERT EXPERIENCE: My brother, sister, and I went to a Pearl Jam concert in 2003 or 2004. Eddie Vedder’s voice gave out toward the end, so he brought a wounded veteran up on stage to help him sing. By far, the coolest thing I’ve seen at a concert. I’ll never forget it.
I WROTE THIS SONG: very quickly. Everything just seemed to fall into place at the right time, and I finished the tune in about 5-6 minutes. I wanted “Katie” to be short and sweet, and I wanted a very melodic ending. This song is a summation of how relationships can end abruptly, and still leave a mark.
