“‘Mañana Será Bonito” by TQG. She’s reclaiming her personhood because her ex cheated on her. It’s just a really fun song to shout along with.”

“‘Last Day of Summer’ by Spanky Wilson. She’s still around. She’s a living legend. I wish I could think of something by Barbara Morrison.”

“‘Get to This’ by Marvin Gaye. I got to a lot of things this summer. I had a great summer doing a lot of interesting things.”
