Andy was working with John Mellencamp during the Crumblin’ Down sessions. He shares a story about John being raised by his grandmother. She was feeling old and told Jesus they were ready to come home. John said, hold on grandma!  I’m not ready. I’ve got a lot more livin to do!

One morning this summer, as it was getting light, I noticed a pair of women’s legs standing by a tree in my front yard. The rest of her body was obscured by leaves. So, I couldn’t tell who she was.

I walked outside to see what was up and she’s mysteriously disappeared. In her place was a Tupperware container of cat food. I looked up to find a cat stuck in the tree. I grabbed the ladder from our garage, rescued the cat without being clawed.

The woman came back, still obscured by leaves. I walked around the house to meet her, she’d gone again. No sign of her in any direction. I kept the Tupperware lol.

Andy’s mom makes different casseroles with the main ingredients being cream of mushroom soup and rice. When she added shrimp to that mix for dinner, Jennifer couldn’t stomach it. She needed a plan B. Not wanting to hurt his mom’s feelings, Andy climbed out of the bedroom window, like a jail break and went to McDonalds. We had a great time recording episode 20 of Welcome To The Suburbs. Enjoy!
