Phoebe Bridgers
Speaking of: There was a Spotify billboard in L.A. featuring you that had a tagline about hitting the road with a guitar — what’d it say? “Hitting the road with six strings and a U.T.I.”
Right. It made me wonder, if that line got approved, what got rejected? They all came from my tweets. But there was one that was, “I was sexually active before I stopped wetting the bed.” Which, if you flip it, sounds like I was assaulted when I was a kid. But the truth is that the last time I wet the bed I was like 20. It runs in my family. What I loved is that the person I was dating at the time — I did it, and I thought, Are you kidding me? I woke them up and was like, “I’mreally sorry but I totally wet the bed.” And they were like: “I’m tired. I’m going to just scoot over.” Then I never did it again. It was like a magical fairy-tale solution. All I needed was acceptance and someone who didn’t give a [expletive]and the problem was solved. You look back at what you obsessed about when you were younger, the stuff that made you go, “I would evaporate if anybody ever knew,” and then you turn into an adult and realize no one cares. Your world is biggest to you. Which is good to remember.
