- 0:39Speaker 2: So we went under jet and we flew to Boston.
- 0:41Speaker 2: It did the show, which is a whole nother story
- 0:44Speaker 2: about how they used to have to have three different
- 0:46Speaker 2: limousines because there was so many. They were like the Beatles.
- 0:49Speaker 2: We landed this in a book. Also, we landed in
- 0:53Speaker 2: an airport in Boston and there had to have been
- 0:55Speaker 2: three to five hundred kids with signs like screaming just
- 0:58Speaker 2: like the Beatles. I mean, it was like being with

- 1:06Speaker 2: me was loving and the other half of me was
- 1:08Speaker 2: wishing it was me, you know.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, I mean it's kind of.
- 1:11Speaker 2: Like you get torn apart from this way that way.
