    "comment": "Bassist Christa Hillhouse recalled hearing Linda Perry working on the song for the first time:\n\n\"For a short time, Linda had quit her job and she was living with me in this little 2-bedroom flat in San Francisco. She wrote the song when she was in a room down the hall. I was in my bedroom having sex, and I stopped because I heard her playing that song. I remember running down the hall and saying, ‘Dude, what are you playing? I like that.’ We had a lot of rock, thrashy stuff back then, but Linda always would pull her ballads out. I remember being struck by it. She kept looking at me, going, ‘Does this sound like something? Am I plagiarizing someone?“ I said, 'Finish the song, it’s beautiful.’ It caught on at our shows right away, people really liked it.\"\n--\nHere's a live performance (We expect you to sing really, really loud!): https://www.facebook.com/argoodmusic/videos/4-non-blondes-whats-up-live/1755583285318888/",
