Transition words & phrases

Now, Kevin, because you are so multifaceted, you can act, you can write, you can sing, you can dance.

Past perfect

And there was me thinking I'd seen the limits of Kevin Bacon's talents.

And the book, I should tell you, the book is called how to Disco Roller Skate.

I think it says that that's how you turn left.

And this move I really like is called the can opener.

I was an avid roller when I moved to New York in 1976.

And I was a busboy and I would go out to Central park and spend a lot of time rolling disco.

There was clubs like Xenon and the Roxy and stuff like that, but that was too expensive.

So we were just out in the street in the park, and

then a guy that I knew said, hey, I'm writing a book about this exploding kind of thing.

At the time, you got to remember, this was like.

And he said, do you want to come and be a model?

And I don't know, he gave me 25 bucks, 50 bucks.

Yeah, they don't fit me, really, because my feet have grown like two sizes, but I.

I can jam into them and I still can do a little bit of skating.

You know, I used to rollerblade to school.

I roller skated with those aluminum ones that were like.

I have never, ever, ever been able to do it.

I took my son in New York at Christmas, and

I was like, hey, can I get one of the Penguins?

And he looked at Max and was like, yeah, how tall he is?

Kieran, would this be fair that there's a little bit of.

We only do it, like, once a year, but I kick his ass.

It feels really good because there's not that many things that I do better than him.

I talk about thoughts and feelings much better.

And, Kevin, you're touring with your band, the Bacon Brothers, and you started writing songs as a kid.

How old were you when you wrote your first song?

I think I was probably about 12 when I wrote the first song.

But I didn't play an instrument, so I just had the melodies and the words in my head, and

then I would just kind of sing them to my brother.
