The Kid Inside

So Alan, maybe those 3,000 people [laughs] in Seymour really were, you know, integral to the success of this album.

Both MCA and Tony DeFries are pretty disappointed in the album, but they give him a chance to record his sophomore album, The Kid Inside.

So John goes to work.

He records The Kid Inside.

The Kid Inside is all original music written by John, and he brings it to MCA and DeFries, and he's pretty proud of it, and they both are like, "This album sucks.

I am not releasing it, and I'm dropping you from my label and management." [laughs]

[laughs]

And to be clear, it's not a little taste of success.
