On November 25th, 1995, I was 19 years old and I was in the audience at the Adler Theater in Davenport, Iowa to see Alanis Morrissette on one of the dates from her Jagged Little Pill tour. This isn’t clout chasing on my part, Alanis was, by this point in her career, even being only 21 years old herself, already one of the biggest stars in the world. By November of 1995, You Oughtta Know had already rocketed Alanis to superstar status by the time she brought the Jagged Little Pill tour to Davenport, Iowa.
It was an amazing experience. I had great seats, about the 15th row, center of the building. By this point, Alanis was already working on new music that would eventually end up on her next record, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie and I got to hear an early, stripped down version of Thank U and Unsent. (Okay, that was a little bit of clout chasing on my part.) It was an incredible experience and it all came rushing back to me as I watched the new documentary Jagged on HBO Max.
