So now we're going to attempt to do our Janelle Monáe cover.
I spoke to Janelle on the phone about it the other day, she was very nice, but I feel like
I should have just said, don't hate it.
And if you do hate it, pretend that you don't, because it would help my spirit.
But yeah, thank you for asking us to play.
I think that, in my mind, tangible change can only really happen when people challenge
the status quo and ask the right questions, and that the right people are put in positions of power.
And hopefully those people are in this room.
So anyway, now we're going to play Tightrope.
