Hi Trevor. I hope you are well.
I was in a bar in St. Louis not long ago wherein a band was doing the standard fare; "Ain't no Sunshine" "Who'll Stop the Rain?" "Stand by Me" "(Sitting on) The Dock of the Bay" etc. They were quite good, I must say.
Then I wondered, given your level of sophistication and talent, are you still capable of going to the bar, having a couple of drinks, and find yourself saying, "Duuuude! I frikin love The Eagles! Who doesn't?!" or something like that?
Thanks for all you do.

MY ANSWER:

Hm, well, sometimes bands like that hit too close to home as I spent four years in a pretty crappy bar band when I was in college (it was better than rolling out pizza dough at 9am!). But yeah, I can get excited about some pretty basic or classic stuff. A few stiff drinks always helps.
