I think the only thing my son wants to inherit from me is the bass (laughs).
- I always have it within a pair of my favorite old pajamas are what swaddles my guitars when they're in the cases, 'cause I don't like them, I like them to be comfortable.
Ta-da.
My old friend.
(Brie drumming) - Back in the day, we would load the trailers ourselves and we never even thought about having somebody help us do that.
I guess we're just hands-on chicks.
Maybe that's the deal.
(Brie drumming) - [Jean] Hey, the sun's coming out.
- [June] Yeah, man, that's a sign.
- [Brie] It's a sign that the day's already begun and you're still in your pajamas.
- That's so funny.
"Wonder" from the beginning?
- My brain knows it, but my body is not minding sometimes - We are recording an album after, oh, 45 years, 50 years, whatever it is.
You know, the Rolling Stones can do it.
Of course, they look pretty darn ancient.
If I had as many lines in my face as Keith Richards, I don't know that we would've been offered a record deal.
(laughing)
