Each of these artists had to walk into the oval office yikes i almost wanted to start each conversation by apologizing for putting them through this process. Just to get this job they had to come to the white house, to the oval office, and get grilled by the president and first lady. Im sorry. [laughter] im so sorry. It was not lost on us how unnerving this experience was for each one of them and when amy came and it was her turn, i have to admit i was intrigued. I was intrigued before she walked into the room.
