SJM_Interview_Pat_Monahan_0719_Dept 6 / 28 / 19 4 : 25 PM Page 2 not about hits and being on pop radio where it was that way for many years . Now you can make a record that people will find if it’s good enough and that’s exciting for me . On his favorite collaborations … The favorite is always the one to come . There have been a lot of fun ones . Brandi Carlile sang on a solo record for me — she’s sweet and awe - somely talented . Aimee Mann and I sang together once which was awe - some . There’s not really a favorite , but there’s one coming I might really love — I might sing with Jewel , we’ll see if that works out . What the future holds … We made a record of Johnny Mercer songs I’m going to hold for awhile and will work on over the next few years . Recently I’ve written two songs for what’s coming ; it seems a lot like the first Train album . It’s going to be less of a pop record and more of an alternative , rock , folk album . I’m excited for what’s next to come from Train . Memories from the road … One of my favorite times was maybe 10 years ago when we went to Philadelphia — I did Bikram Yoga and had one of the best meals I’ve ever had before our show that night . And just last year when we were in town we went to The Trocadero , and then I heard they recently sold it ? That place will be missed . What fans can expect on this tour … It will be a lot of fun . Come early and see ( opener ) Allen Stone . He’s such a great kid and so talented ; you’re going to be blown away by him . Defi - nitely come early enough for Allen . You’ll come for the Goo Goo Dolls and Train , and you’ll leave a huge Allen Stone fan . What he’d like to be remembered for … There’s a quote about Johnny Mercer : “ If you were around Johnny Mercer , you always felt like you belonged in the room with him . ” He always included everybody , whether you are a stranger or family , he made every - body feel like they belonged . If someone ever said that about me , I think I would rest easier after my passing . I think that’s what I’d like to n be known for .
