    "comment": "HI John and Morning show team,\n\nLast week I went to the Pixies show at the Greek Theater in Berkeley and under a crescent moon I felt the power of the way music can help us heal and express what can't be said in words. I've been going through alot related to processing trauma from my past and recently dealing with a surf injury making things extra tough, since the ocean and surfing are a huge part of my coping and ability to feel free.  Well that night when I was jamming out to such a legendary band I forgot about all that and let myself be right there with the music and with the space.  It was a gift and I am grateful for the way art is part of the beauty in this world.  I also thought of John since I know this is his favorite band :)\n\nCan you play Hey for me by the Pixies?\n\nAll my love,\nSarah from the Bay\n--\nFrank Black wrote this song for \"Doolittle\" in 1989.  He said about \"Hey,\":  \"People love this song. It’s like our only R&B song with this three-chord turnaround. Basically it’s our slow-jam R&B song or our version of that I guess. I don’t think we were trying to do that. It just sort of came out naturally. I suppose it’s a relationship song. It’s not really my own history but distilled or culled from ancient stories of my parents from when they were younger. Things I heard or rumors, loosely based on that kinda stuff.\"",
