Although Courtney Barnett will be playing a show in Minneapolis this weekend, Mary Lucia talks about why she's taking a drive to see a rock and roll legend, Jerry Lee Lewis.

"I feel like when a seasoned performer like that — a legend —nsomebody with that much story, history, I just feel like you can just see it even in their physicality; they don't even really need to sing a note or play a note," Mary says. "That physicality of 'I've lived a life, and I'm going to share it with you for 30 minutes at a casino.' I'm so down! I can't wait."
