The kind of music fan who ends up moving to Scotland in his 40's to write a PhD thesis about Nick Cave. No, that's not a joke.

What is a song that makes you think of your first job?

My first job was as a janitor at my local YMCA during my senior year of high school and they always had WLTE Lite FM on in the background—the Twin Cities adult contemporary station, so pretty much any late 90’s song in that category reminds me of that job now. While “lite rock” is not a genre that I was particularly fond of then—or now, for that matter—it was the end of the 90’s and as part of the “alternative explosion” there were bands and artists who I loved that occasionally had songs that made their way onto the station’s playlist, so it wasn’t all that bad. This song is a case in point.
