hey John, it’s kelly in SAN FRANCISCO from the Jacob and kelly anniversary party way back when, If possible I would super love it if you could play gratitude by the Beastie Boys for Jacob. He’s just helped me pack my van full of my life and gear for the next 10 days as I try to balance producing a concert series and then leaving to be a mom chaperone in Los Angeles for a week. He’s holding down the fort and I love him and I appreciate him for all he does. And thanks so much for all you do too. Not sure how we would take on everything in life without kexp helping to balance out the vibes.

Hi John: I just bought my childhood home from my parents and moved them into assisted living. Moving into my “new” old house is a mind trip. Nostalgic and not a little creepy! Would you please play anything from Screaming Trees? As a shout out to my past while I unpack and show my kids the best way to sneak out and where I used to hide cigarettes. Thanks! Seattle listener Courtney
