The Modern Hypocrites Minute Track 1: Half Japanese - 1,000,000,000 Kisses - I want to use this series of live recordings to spotlight songs that inspired me to learn guitar and write songs. The first song I want to spotlight is 1,000,000,000 Kisses. I was first exposed to Half Japanese via a Kurt Cobain t-shirt and fell in love with them while watching the documentary Half Japanese: The Band That Would Be King by Jeff Feuerzeig. Jad and David Fair taught me that I didn't need to know how to tune a guitar or even play one in order to write songs. I can never thank them enough. #ModernHypocritesMinute
