LA based artist Austin Carr joins the Song Saloon to talk about Cool Kid.
The song lyrics have a lot to do with Los Angeles. Austin expresses his frustration with the prevalent attitude in LA to be in the "in" crowd and what people are willing to do to get there. As he was writing the song, he realized with regret that he is guilty of a lot of the behavior he started out trying to criticize.
It's a really great blend of emotions and makes for great songwriting. Hope you enjoy the episode!
