Today, I meet a potential soul mate, singer-songwriter Max Quinn. We open the power pop bag and pull out Fountains of Wayne’s almost 20 year old classic ‘Welcome Interstate Managers’ and somehow crowbar the Beatles into the conversation, while also talking about Max’s theory that this album contains the history of pop music, the contrasting writing styles of Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood, our love of well-crafted songs, the band’s mixed feelings about ‘Stacey’s Mom’, the character storytelling on the album and why it’s a white collar version of Bruce Springsteen, alcohol, the CD era, signature chord changes, joy and hope and depression and much more.
